Nationals starter Jordan Zimmermann thought he threw an unhittable pitch.
But these days, Lucas Duda is hitting everything.
“It was up and in for a ball and somehow he kept it fair,” Zimmermann said of the ball Duda mashed down the line for a two-run homer — one of three home runs the Mets hit in the third inning. “I’m not really sure how it’s physically possible to hit that ball where I put it. I put it right where I wanted to … he’s probably the hottest guy in baseball right now. For him to hit the ball where he did where it was located, just got to tip your cap.
