Last night's game officially lasted 3 hours 40 minutes, and the Marlins beat the Braves. So far this year that has been a bit unusual for both Florida and Atlanta.
The 2010 Fish have up to now done their best in games of shorter duration. They have a 21-10 record in games lasting less than 2 hours 45 minutes. Between 2:45 and 2:59 they have a 14-19 record. And from 3 hours up their record is 13-19 (including extra inning games, where they are 1-5).
This year's Braves, on the other hand, are now 10-14 in games under 2:45, 22-12 in games from 2:45 to 2:59, and 24-14 in games 3 hours and over (including a 4-4 record in extra inning games).
As in many things, though, extremes are rarely good - the Marlins have lost the three shortest games they've played in this year, while the Braves have lost 4 of their 5 longest games of the year (which included last night's).
