Nationals 6-4 over Marlins: Yunel Escobar 5 for 5, fifth hit in 8th wins it

5. Zimmermann vs the Fish: Jordan Zimmermann's last start against the Marlins took place in Miami back on April 24th, in a 3-2 loss to the Nationals' NL East rivals. Washington's 28-year-old right-hander threw four scoreless, but surrendered four hits and two runs in the fifth inning when the Marlins connected for four straight two-out singles.

Mat Latos and Marlins' leadoff man Dee Gordon both droves runs in and Zimmermann threw a total of 23 pitches in the inning after he'd completed the previous four scoreless frames on a total of just 48.
