Yankees manager Joe Girardi filed an official protest after his team's 6-5 loss to the Marlins on Sunday.

The Marlins messed up a double-switch in the eighth inning. After Alejandro De Aza pinch-hit in the pitcher's spot in the seventh, Florida intended to leave him in the game in left field, inserting reliever Leo Nunez in the No. 1 slot.

Instead, starter Chris Coghlan - who had been removed from the game - ran out to left field.

If upheld, it's possible that the game could be restarted from the point of the protest - the top of the eighth with Florida leading, 6-3.
