 ATLANTA (AP) - A strikeout worked out just fine for Florida. The Marlins scored four runs off Tim Hudson during a strange fifth inning and went on to beat the Atlanta Braves 6-4 Monday night, benefiting from a strikeout that didn't result in an out.
After Miguel Cabrera put the Marlins ahead 4-3 with a bases-loaded sacrifice fly, Hudson appeared to be out of the jam when Jeremy Hermida swung at a nasty splitter down and in for strike three.
The ball skidded in the dirt, however, getting between the legs of catcher Brian McCann. Hermida hustled to first before McCann could retrieve the wild pitch, leaving the bases loaded again with two outs.
