PITTSBURGH — Rangers center Derek Stepan calls Tigers pitcher Jordan Zimmerman his “doppelganger,” and sure enough, the two bear a striking resemblance to one another.
On Thursday afternoon they were in the same place, PNC Park.
Zimmerman got the win in the Tigers’ 7-4 victory over the Pirates and Stepan joined most of his teammates in a suite on an off day between Games 1 and 2 of their first-round playoff series against the Penguins.
Stepan said it was the second time he has seen Zimmerman pitch; he also did so when Zimmerman was a National.
