KISSIMMEE, Fla. (AP) — Tyler Pastornicky had four hits and Freddie Freeman added three and the Atlanta Braves tied the Miami Marlins 5-5 in 10 innings, just hours after Chipper Jones said he will retire at the end of the season.
Jones did not play on Thursday.
Pastornicky has struggled this spring, but lifted his batting average to .224. Freeman boosted his spring average to .216.
Brandon Beachy started for the Braves and allowed four runs in five innings. He walked one and struggled with his control, but four relievers came in and allowed only one run.
Ricky Nolasco won 10 games last season, most of any returning Marlin, and allowed three runs in 4 1/3 innings, walking two. Jose Reyes and John Buck each had two hits and a double for Miami.
