Ryan Zimmerman homers, collects three hits in return to Nationals’ lineup

Ryan Zimmerman went 3 for 4 with a home run in his return to the Nationals’ lineup in what ended up an 11-9 win over the Braves.

Ryan Zimmerman returned from the Disabled List tonight in Atlanta and homered on the first pitch he saw from Braves’ right-hander Tyrell Jenkins, sending a solo blast to left field for his 13th home run of the season.

Zimmerman went on 3 for 4 with two runs scored and two RBIs in Washington’s 11-9 win in Turner Field.

He singled and scored in the third inning to put the Nationals up 5-3, lined a single to left in the fifth, and after grounding out in the seventh, hit a sac fly to center in the ninth to make it 11-6.
