Zimmermann (1-0), signed as a free agent from Washington, allowed just three baserunners in his 99-pitch outing. He gave up singles in the third and fourth, walked three and struck out three.
Relievers Justin Wilson and Kyle Ryan completed the three-hit shutout with an inning apiece as Detroit cooled off New York bats that had hit .
