Wizards Bump Off Marlins, 6-4
The Florida Marlins got a sterling performance from left fielder Michael Saunders, but the Washington Wizards still prevailed, 6-4. Saunders was 3 for 4 with a home run and 2 singles. He scored 2 times and drove in 3. Jason Gray, who went 6.2 innings, was the winning pitcher. He was charged with 4 runs on 8 hits, while walking 1 and striking out 6. His record now stands at 12-10. The third-place Wizards sport a record of 93-59.

In the top of the seventh, Brad McCann, who finished 2nd in the NL in extra base hits with 82 in 2009, delivered for Washington. That's when he belted a 3-run home run, putting the Wizards up, 6-4. It was his lone hit in 5 at-bats, but it was a climactic one.

Said Washington manager Rich Hinton: "At the end of the day, these guys have to perform between the lines, and I think they did."
