Ryan Zimmerman, who retired after last season, made his broadcasting debut on Mid-Atlantic Sports Network (MASN) to mostly favorable reviews on Tuesday with the Los Angeles Dodgers in town.
And it was nine years ago this week that the former University of Virginia star had one of the best games of his career.
Playing in Baltimore against the Orioles, Zimmerman had three homers on this day in 2013, but the Nationals lost 9-6 to the Orioles.
There were eight homers hit on the day at Camden Yards.
“Things start off well for the Nats, with Zimmerman homering in his first three at-bats for a 6 - 3 lead, but in the 7th, Jordan Zimmermann serves up a two-run homer to Steve Pearce and reliever Tyler Clippard allows a two-run homer to Chris Davis, his second of the game, as the O’s score six times by the end of the inning.
