Detroit — It seems every time you tune in to one of the classic baseball games the networks are re-airing these days, a younger Jordan Zimmermann is out there pitching his tail off in a milestone game for the opposing pitcher.
There he is on June 4, 2009 at Nationals Park, just his ninth career start, dueling a 45-year-old Randy Johnson, then with the Giants. Zimmermann struck out seven over six innings that day, allowed three hits, all after he got two strikes on the hitters, and all in a two-run second inning.
