Marlins 2B Infante breaks finger

Florida Marlins second baseman Omar Infante has broken his right middle finger diving for a grounder against the St. Louis Cardinals. Infante appeared in pain but stayed in the game Thursday night after his unsuccessful attempt to field the grounder by Skip Schumaker. The ball deflected off Infante's glove and rolled into right field for a two-run double in the third inning. Infante left the game in the sixth. He had been on an offensive tear recently, and three hits Thursday hiked his average to .279. The Marlins were already without shortstop Hanley Ramirez, sidelined by a sprained left shoulder.
