Bryce Harper’s big blast got all the headlines, and deservedly so, but it was Nationals’ first baseman Ryan Zimmerman’s home run that lifted Washington to a 6-3 lead over Chicago’s Cubs after Harper tied things up. Zimmerman stepped up with two on and one out against left-hander Mike Montgomery in the eighth, and hit an 0-1 change to left field in Nationals Park.
When did Zimmerman know it was gone?
