In this case the rule applied might have been the been the first two sentences "A pitcher receives a win when he is the pitcher of record when his team takes the lead for good -- with a couple rare exceptions. First, a starting pitcher must pitch at least five innings (in a traditional game of nine innings or longer) to qualify for the win."
So since the starter didn't get to 5 the next guy in, Marshall, gets the win because he was the first reliever or pitcher of record while the team had the lead, again since the starter doesn't qualify.
Neat anyway you slice it but I'm glad that the game has this level of detail. It wouldn't be baseball otherwise
