MARLINS’ OZUNA HOMERS IN STICKY BAT GAME

-

Marcell Ozuna hit two home runs — the second moments after his bat was thrown out for having too much pine tar on it — and the Miami Marlins beat the host Milwaukee Brewers 10-3. The sticky situation began in the seventh, when Brewers second baseman

Jonathan Villar’s bat was tossed from the game for the same issue by plate umpire

Hunter Wendelsted­t. Wendelsted­t also checked Ozuna’s bat to start the eighth and told him to get a new one. Ozuna did, then deposited his 22nd homer of the season into the bleachers in left.
