Braves bullpen bounces back to help beat Marlins 5-4

MIAMI (AP) -- The Atlanta Braves' bullpen overcame the residue of a punctured fire extinguisher, with four relievers combining to pitch three nervous innings and finish off the Miami Marlins 5-4 Sunday.

The win came less than 24 hours after the Braves allowed seven runs in the final three innings of a 7-6 loss. After Sean Newcomb gave up the winning run in the 10th inning, he angrily kicked a metal garbage can, which hit a fire extinguisher, which sent chemical dust spewing down the dugout tunnel and into the clubhouse.

The bullpen nearly made another mess after inheriting a one-run lead in the series finale.
