From the AP report for this game:

Quote
[Marquis] helped stake himself to a 6-0 lead after one inning. The Nationals scored six off Javier Vazquez (2-4), and then hung on to win.

How was that "hanging on"?  The game was never closer than three runs and they won by four.  The tying run was at-bat once, in the 7th and that's as close as they ever got...to tying the game.  That's hardly "hanging on".  :?

Now, the Marlins "hung on"...by the skin of their teeth... to win the previous game but someone "hung on" didn't make the AP report for that game.
