Houston-- Omar Infante delivered a tie-breaking RBI double to ignite a six-run, 10th-inning rally Wednesday, giving the Atlanta Braves an 8-2 win over Houston.

The Astros scored in the bottom of the ninth to send the game into extra frames, but the Braves quickly put together a big inning, launched when Infante smashed a pitch from Brandon Lyon (6-5) off the left field wall to drive in Rick Ankiel with the go-ahead tally.

Alex Gonzalez later connected for an RBI single and Brian McCann capped the outburst with a grand slam homer off Jeff Fulchino to turn the game into a rout and hand the first-place Braves a victory in the rubber match of a three-game set at Minute Maid Park.
