John Lannan limited the Marlins to one run in five innings to pick up a win on Sunday.
Lannan had just one quality start in his last six tries, so he could use a strong outing like this one. He likely would have come back out for the sixth, but the game was delayed by rain for two hours and 10 minutes. There was also a 53-minute delay with the Marlins down 7-2, a man on, and nobody out in the ninth, but the game was called before the Marlins could come back to the plate. In the race for the first pick in the draft, likely to be Bryce Harper, the Nationals' magic number is 15 over the Pirates.
