Braves Score Six in 10th, Beat Astros 8-2
HOUSTON (AP) _ Omar Infante drove in the go-ahead run with a
10th-inning double and Brian McCann added insurance with a grand
slam later in the inning to give the Atlanta Braves an 8-2 win over
the Houston Astros on Wednesday.
Infante’s hit bounced low on the wall in left field and scored
Rick Ankiel to put Atlanta back on top 3-2 and give closer Billy
Wagner (6-2) the win after he blow a save in the ninth.
Brandon Lyon (6-5) intentionally walked Melky Cabrera to set up
a run-scoring single by Alex Gonzalez that pushed the lead to 4-2
and chased Lyon. McCann’s pinch hit slam off Jeff Fulchino landed
in the stands in right field and put the game out of reach.
