Omar Infante hit an RBI double with two outs in the bottom of the 11th inning, giving the Atlanta Braves a 2-1 walk-off triumph over the Florida Marlins.

Brian McCann homered and Tommy Hanson pitched into the eighth inning for the Braves, who ended a two-game home losing streak.

Atlanta, which entered the day one-half game behind San Diego in the NL wild-card standings, took advantage of Jose Veras' lack of control in the 11th.

Nate McLouth drew a leadoff walk and Rick Ankiel received a free pass with one out. A wild pitch by Veras (3-3) advanced both runners, and after pinch-hitter Freddie Freeman struck out, Infante ripped a 3-2 pitch down the left-field line, plating McLouth with the winning run.

Mike Dunn (2-0) picked up the win after striking out the only batter he faced in the top of the 11th.

The Braves grabbed a 1-0 advantage in the fourth inning as McCann belted a 2-1 offering from Alex Sanabia over the right-field wall for his 21st home run of the season.

Hanson made it stand until the eighth, when Mike Stanton hit a one-out single, stole second and scored on Brad Davis' double. Hanson retired pinch-hitter Wes Helms before departing and Jonny Venters struck out pinch-hitter Cameron Maybin to avoid further damage.

Hanson yielded one run and five hits in 7 2/3 innings, striking out three without a walk.

Sanabia was just as effective for the Marlins, allowing one run and five hits while recording five strikeouts and no walks.
