ATLANTA -- Marlins manager Don Mattingly nearly sent Jose Fernandez back to the hotel early so he could get extra rest for his start on Saturday.Instead, the Miami ace stuck around for some theatrics with his bat.Making the first pinch-hit appearance of his career, Fernandez drove in the go-ahead run with a two-run double in the 12th inning, helping the Marlins beat the Atlanta Braves 7-5 on Friday night.Thats always been like a dream, play the outfield or get to pinch hit like that, Fernandez said. When it actually happened, it was like, `Oh my God, were really doing this. My heart rate started, (but) the main goal was just try to hit a ground ball somewhere and get a run and go home.The dramatic moment overshadowed the meltdown of closer A.J. Ramos, who blew a rare save in the ninth for Miami. Ramos had converted 33 straight saves, one short of the franchise record, before Tyler Flowers led off with his sixth homer to force a 5-5 tie.He battled back after that, Mattingly said. Hes always that guy you know isnt going to panic. You could tell it didnt rattle him. He stayed in control and ended up getting us out of that jam.Fernandez, one of baseballs most dynamic starters, began the game with a .222 batting average in 27 at-bats. With the pitchers spot due up in the 12th and no position players available, Fernandez batted for reliever Nick Wittgren (3-1) and delivered the big hit.The game was going at a real fast pace, Fernandez said. I said, `Im going stay and watch the game with the guys and be with them. I may put my cleats on just in case. Its a long shot. Warmed up for like 20 minutes. `Im not going to hit anyway, but Im still going to warm up. Before the game, Mattingly said that Ramos would remain the closer after the team traded for Fernando Rodney. Rodney did his job, facing four batters in a scoreless eighth, but Ramos wasnt as lucky.Rodney, whose 253 career saves rank fifth on the active list, converted all 17 of his chances this year for the Padres, but Mattingly said the plan was for him to work primarily as a setup man with Miami.The Marlins snapped a three-game skid and improved to 3-7 against Atlanta, the NLs worst team.Casey Kelly (0-3), the sixth Atlanta pitcher, took the loss.Marcell Ozuna went 4 for 6, homered and drove in three runs for Miami. Martin Prado, Christian Yelich and Ozuna each had a two-out hit in the seventh when Miami scored twice to take a 5-4 lead.Braves ace Julio Teheran began the night having pitched 23 consecutive scoreless innings, but his career-best streak ended quickly when Miami took a 3-0 lead in the first on Derek Dietrichs leadoff homer and Ozunas 17th homer, a two-run shot.Teheran avoided trouble in the second when he struck out Yelich to strand the bases loaded, but Yelich chased him in the seventh with an RBI single that made it 3-all.Teheran allowed 11 hits and five runs and struck out six in 6 2/3 innings. His ERA rose .26 points to 2.72.Atlanta cut the lead to 3-2 in the second on Erick Aybars RBI single and Teherans groundout.Ozunas RBI single in the seventh came off Chris Withrow for the go-ahead run.In his previous 12 starts, Teheran was just 3-5 despite a 1.61 ERA and a .160 opponents batting average.It was a battle, Teheran said. It was kind of a different game. Youre not going to feel the same way every game. You try to, but sometimes its not going to happen.Marlins starter Justin Nicolino gave up seven hits, four runs, one walk and struck out one in five innings. The left-hander blew a 3-0 lead when Chase dArnaud hit his first career homer, a two-run shot, to put the Braves up 4-0 in the fifth.Recalled before the game from Triple-A New Orleans, Nicolino has an 8.22 ERA over his last three starts.KER-PLUNK AGAINDietrich was hit by a pitch in the second, marking the third time this series and 16th this season, most in the majors. Even the visiting dugout at Turner Field hasnt been a safe place Dietrich, who was hit in the head by Yelichs foul liner on May 29. Carlos Delgado set the Marlins single-season record after getting hit by 17 pitches in 2005.TRAINERS ROOMAtlanta CF Ender Inciarte strained his right groin and had to leave the game in the sixth inning.TRANSACTION WIRELHP Jo-Jo Reyes was designated for assignment with Rodneys arrival. The Marlins optioned RHP Brian Ellington to New Orleans to make room for Nicolino.UP NEXTMarlins: RHP Fernandez (10-3) has a 2.15 ERA and a 4-1 in seven career starts against Atlanta.Braves: RHP Lucas Harrell (0-0) will make his first start since 2014 with Houston. He went 2-1 with a 2.81 ERA in nine appearances at Triple-A Gwinnett. Phillip Dorsett II Jersey . Badenhop was 2-3 with a 3.47 ERA in 63 relief appearances for Milwaukee this season.

The nine-time Big 12 champion Jayhawks are positioning themselves for another title, as they have run out to a flawless 6-0 mark in conference play thus far. LONDON -- The 11th Grand Slam final of Andy Murrays career will be unlike any of the others in at least one way: The opponent will not be Roger Federer or Novak Djokovic.Murray, the 2013 champion at Wimbledon, reached his third major title match of 2016 with a no-nonsense 6-3, 6-3, 6-3 victory against 10th-seeded Tomas Berdych in the semifinals Friday.Supported by thousands of his countrymen at Center Court, Murray broke serve five times and played cleanly as can be, committing only nine unforced errors, 21 fewer than Berdych.On Sunday, No. 2 Murray will play No. 6 Milos Raonic, a Canadian making his debut in a Grand Slam final.Obviously, first time Ill play a Slam final against someone that isnt Roger or Novak. So, yeah, thats different, Murray said. But you never know how anyones going to deal with the pressures of a Slam final. So just have to go out there and concentrate on my side. Do what I can to prepare well for it and see what happens.Might be a refreshing change.Thats because while he did defeat Djokovic for both the 2012 U.S. Open championship and the 2013 Wimbledon championship -- famously becoming the first British man to hold the trophy in 77 years -- Murray has lost all eight of his other previous major finals.That includes a pair this year: the Australian Open in January, and the French Open in June, both against Djokovic.Overall, Murray is 2-5 against Djjokovic, and 0-3 against Federer with a major title at stake.ddddddddddddot that theres any shame in that.After all, Federer holds the record of 17 Slam trophies, and Djokovic has 12.During this tournament, though, the No. 1-seeded Djokovic was beaten in the third round by Sam Querrey, and No. 3 Federer lost his semifinal Friday against Raonic 6-3, 6-7 (3), 4-6, 7-5, 6-3.When Berdych was asked whether he thinks Murray might win the title, he replied: Definitely, he can. The fact that probably his biggest rival, Novak, is not in the draw anymore definitely helps.Murray remembers not really having time to process that he was about to play in his first Grand Slam final before losing in straight sets to Federer at the 2008 U.S. Open.Now that hes 29, he relishes the last-Sunday opportunities more than ever, no matter the foe.I guess the tournaments start to mean more to you the older you get, and you start to appreciate the history of the events probably more as you get older. When youre 18, 19, youre probably not as aware about those things, Murray said. I never take it for granted. I know how difficult it is to make the finals of these events -- and how hard they are to win.---Follow Howard Fendrich on Twitter at http://twitter.com/HowardFendrich ' ' '
