Atlanta Braves sweep Miami Marlins in wild extra innings finale

Break out the broom sticks.

After losing their first nine games, the Atlanta Braves defeated the Miami Marlins, 6-5, in ten innings on Sunday afternoon to complete a weekend sweep at Marlins Park.

Mallex Smith's run-scoring single up the middle in the top half of the tenth was the difference. Drew Stubbs walked and advanced to third on a Jace Peterson bloop single with two outs, giving the rookie the opportunity to deliver his first career RBI.

Jason Grilli blew the save in the ninth, and Matt Wisler came on and threw a flawless, six-pitch tenth to nail down the first save of his professional career.
