Zimmerman "always happy to get chance" to win it all

September 03, 2011, 7:50pm

It was the moment the Nationals were hoping for in the ninth against the Mets. Down 7-6, after leading 5-0, it appeared Washington might be headed to a painful loss after New York had rallied twice to take the lead. The Mets brought in Bobby Parnell and Jesus Flores greeted him with a single into left field. Brian Bixler pinch ran for him and Parnell uncorked a wild pitch while facing pinch-hitter Jonny Gomes. Bixler went to second and Gomes was walked. After Ian Desmond battled to lay down...

Zimmerman broken-bat single stuns Mets in ninth 8-7

The Nationals rallied in the bottom of the ninth off reliever Bobby Parnell to stun the New York Mets 8-7. Jesus Flores led off with a base hit to left field and was replaced by pinch runner Brian Bixler. Bixler then got to second base on a wild pitch. Pinch hitter Jonny Gomes walked to put men on first and second with no outs. The Mets then intentionally walked Roger Bernadina to face Ryan Zimmerman. Yes, that Ryan Zimmerman. Ryan Zimmerman talks on the field with Debbi about his...

Making his major league debut already one to remember, Nationals left-hander Tommy Milone hit a three-run homer into the right field bullpen in the second inning to give Washington a 5-0 advantage.

He also enjoyed a three up, three down second inning, which included his first major league strikeout of...

Former Mets lefty Oliver Perez activated to Double-A Harrisburg

The Washington Nationals have made a couple of moves worth noting that affect the Double-A Harrisburg and Triple-A Syracuse rosters. Outfielder Jesus Valdez and right-hander Ryan Mattheus have been promoted to Syracuse. Mattheus had a strong run of nine consecutive games without allowing an unearned run snapped May 12 at Richmond. His record is still impressive at 2-1 with a 2.45 ERA as a reliever with the Senators. Valdez has gone 6-for-14 in his last five games and is batting .278 in...
