Miami, FL (Sports Network) - Omar Infante atoned for a big fielding error in the seventh inning with a game-winning hit against his former team, a two-run homer off Craig Kimbrel in the ninth, boosting Florida to a shocking 6-5 win over the playoff-hopeful Atlanta Braves.
Infante's miscue capped a four-run Atlanta seventh, giving Atlanta the lead, but his first career walk-off homer sent the sputtering Braves to their seventh defeat in 10 contests. Atlanta's lead in the National League wild card standings was reduced to 2 1/2 games over St. Louis, which won at Philadelphia, 4-3, Monday night.
Florida was down to its last out, but Emilio Bonifacio reached safely on an infield hit when third baseman Chipper Jones lost the high chopper in the lights. Infante then smacked a 1-0 pitch over the wall in left field.
Mike Stanton clubbed a pair of mammoth solo homers and Logan Morrison added a two-run shot -- all off Mike Minor, as the Marlins won for the third time in four tries.
