ATLANTA -- Marlins ace Jose Fernandez, making the first pinch-hit appearance of his career, drove in the go-ahead run with a two-run double in the 12th inning, helping the Miami Marlins beat the Atlanta Braves 7-5 on Friday night.The dramatic moment overshadowed the meltdown of closer A.J. Ramos, who blew a 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.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.Fernandez is Miamis starter Saturday.Before the game, Marlins manager Don 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 San Diego 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 National Leagues worst team.Casey Kelly (0-3), the sixth Atlanta pitcher used, 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 3-3.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.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 past three starts.BIG SCAREFlowers was hit in the hand by a pitch from Wittgren in the 10th. The ball knocked off his helmet and glasses, but Flowers stayed in the game.BIG THRILLSAybar, the Atlanta shortstop, ran into shallow center field to make an over-the-shoulder catch of Adeiny Hechavarrias flyout and doubled up J.T. Realmuto to end the sixth. ... Left fielder Emilio Bonifacio ran a long way to chase down Prados long flyout in the 11th with a runner on first.BAD MOVESFreddie Freeman reached in the Atlanta 10th, when shortstop Adeiny Hechavarria ran into left field and bumped into Christian Yelich. Hechavarria was charged with an error as the ball bounced off Yelichs glove. Atlanta stranded the bases loaded.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 for 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.

PITTSBURGH -- After his first practice with the Pittsburgh Steelers, cornerback Justin Gilbert sounded like a guy relieved to reset his turbulent career.The Cleveland Browns on Saturday traded Gilbert, the No. 8 overall pick in 2014, to corner-needy Pittsburgh in exchange for a sixth-round pick in 2018.Words cant even explain how excited I am, Gilbert said Monday. Im grateful.Gilbert hopes to turn that gratitude into a more stable NFL career. Gilbert fell out of favor in Cleveland and managed 39 tackles in two seasons. He struggled with punctuality as a rookie, prompting Browns safety Donte Whitner to say publicly Gilbert needed to grow up.Two seasons later, Gilbert is using similar language.Just growing up off the field, Gilbert said, regarding how he plans to improve his professionalism in Pittsburgh. Its a lot of things that can distract you when you come in fresh out of college. After a year in the league, not getting done what I wanted to get done the first season, it changed me and made me a new man, for sure.Gilbert decllined specifics about those distractions, but overall he attributed his struggles in Cleveland to lack of consistency and now knows he has to prepare like a pro every week.ddddddddddddGilbert impressed teammates with his footwork in a practice drill Monday, but Gilbert was always a fluid athlete. To advance his career, hell have to show he can thrive in Pittsburghs winning culture.Gilbert considers Pittsburghs locker room a little more laid back than Clevelands. Gilbert is under contract for the next two seasons at salaries of $786,682 and $970,023. He is due a roster bonus of $800,000 this year and $1.2 million next year.Everybody knows what this team is capable of, Gilbert said. On the practice field, it was a whole different level. Im excited for that every day. I just want to finish out the year here and make it to the playoffs and get to the Super Bowl. ... If Im playing good, Ill be out there. ' ' '
