MIAMI – Pinch-hitter Ruben Gotay had an RBI double in the ninth inning and the Atlanta Braves spoiled a seven-run Marlins rally to beat Florida 16-14 on Tuesday night.
Kelly Johnson had four hits and four RBIs, and Omar Infante had four hits and two RBIs for the Braves, who had a season-high in runs. Atlanta, which snapped a four-game losing streak, scored 14 runs against the Reds on May 4.
Alfredo Amezega had a career-high five RBIs for the Marlins, who have not won consecutive games since July 30-31. It would have been by far the biggest comeback win this season for Florida, which had rallied from three-run deficits five times this season.
