In the midst of the Mets being swept in a three-game set by the Tigers, reigning National League batting champion Jeff McNeil took issue with umpire Adam Beck during an at-bat in the second inning.
A frustrated McNeil, who went 1-for-10 in the series, was not happy with a called third strike on a pitch that appeared to be out of the zone.
The Mets second baseman, who was already headed up first base after the offering from Detroit’s Eduardo Rodriguez, was stopped in his tracks by a very late call from Beck.
