FORT MYERS, Fla., March 6 (UPI) -- The Atlanta Braves capitalized on an error by shortstop Jesse Garcia to score 10 times in the sixth inning Wednesday and defeat the Atlanta Braves, 12-10.
Garcia misplayed a ground ball that would have been the final out of the inning, but instead allowed the first run to score. Joe Mauer, the top pick in the 2002 draft, and Casey Blake had RBI singles and Tom Prince capped the frame with a bases-clearing double.
The inning also featured a theft of home by Denny Hocking on the back end of a double steal.
Loser Jake Robbins allowed eight runs in the sixth, but none were earned.
The Braves made it close with five runs in the ninth, including a three-run double by Travis Wilson. Wilson had two hits and drove in four runs. Julio Franco had two hits and two RBI.
Travis Miller pitched a scoreless sixth for the win.
