ALBANY, N.Y. -- DraftKings and FanDuel will pay $6 million apiece to New York state to resolve lawsuits alleging the daily fantasy sports companies engaged in false advertising under a legal settlement announced Tuesday by state Attorney General Eric Schneiderman.The deal ends a legal fight that saw FanDuel and DraftKings briefly halt operations in New York earlier this year after Schneiderman said their business amounted to illegal gambling. Schneidermans office also accused the two companies of misleading players about potential winnings advertisements and marketing material. Tuesdays settlement resolves those claims.Under the terms of the agreement, FanDuel and DraftKings will agree to revise the terms and conditions disclosed to players and post information about actual winnings online.Todays settlements make it clear that no company has a right to deceive New Yorkers for its own profit, Schneiderman said in a statement announcing the deal. DraftKings and FanDuel will now be required to operate with greater transparency and disclosure and to permanently end the misrepresentations they made to millions of consumers.FanDuel and DraftKings agreed to cease operations in New York pending the passage of new regulations allowing them to operate. Lawmakers passed legislation this year Gov. Andrew Cuomo, a Democrat, signed it into law in August. That allowed the companies to resume operations. Tuesdays agreement resolved the states lawsuits alleging false advertising.Both New York-based FanDuel and Boston-based DraftKings confirmed the settlement in statements to The Associated Press. FanDuel spokeswoman Justine Sacco said the negotiations with Schneidermans office were tough but fair.We are very pleased to have reached a resolution as this allows us to focus on our busiest time of year with NFL, NHL and soccer in full swing, and NBA season starting tonight, she said.

Soriano worked around Brandon Belts RBI single in the ninth and, helped by Spans grab, earned his 31st save. Ian Desmond homered and Anthony Rendon had two RBIs in a five-run fourth inning that put Washington up 6-1. Zimmermann gave up six hits, walked two and struck out two. After going 1-3 in his previous four starts, the right-hander permitted only two runners past second base. In his last 42 regular-season starts, Zimmermann is 23-8 with a 3.01 ERA.

San Francisco got two singles and a walk to load the bases with two outs in the fourth for Lincecum, an .098 lifetime hitter who bounced into a force play. Similarly, two singles and an intentional walk loaded the bases for Washington in the bottom half, and the Nationals took full advantage of the situation. Rendon hit a two-run double and Kurt Suzuki followed with an RBI single. A wild pitch by Lincecum let in another run, and Ryan Zimmerman capped the uprising with a run-scoring single. After Zimmermann left, the Giants pierced the Washington bullpen for three runs in the eighth.

Sandovals three hits were one more than he had in his previous seven games. Blanco went 0 for 3 and is batting .113 since the All-Star break, and teammate Buster Posey broke out of a 3-for-26 skid with singles in the eighth and ninth.
