Pinch-runner Reggie Abercrombie scored on reliever Mike Remlinger’s throwing error in the bottom of the 10th inning to give the Florida Marlins a 6-5 win over the slumping Atlanta Braves on Wednesday night.

With runners on first and second and no outs, Remlinger fielded Jeremy Hermida’s bunt and tried to get the lead runner at third. His throw went past third baseman Chipper Jones allowing Abercrombie to score easily.

Miguel Cabrera led off the 10th inning with a double off Oscar Villareal (7-1) before being replaced by Abercrombie. Villareal then hit Cody Ross in the face after Ross had squared to bunt and Remlinger came in.

Taylor Tankersley (1-0) pitched a scoreless 10th inning for his first major league victory.

The Marlins trailed 5-2 in the eighth before scoring three runs to tie it on Wes Helms’ second homer of the game.
