Ryan Zimmerman missed 55 games dealing with plantar fasciitis between late April and early June, so the Washington Nationals’ first baseman was stuck on 999 career RBIs for quite a while. He picked up No. 999 on April 21st, but didn’t get his 1,000th until he hit a double to left to drive in a run in the seventh inning of last night’s 7-4 extra innings loss.
Zimmerman went 3 for 6 with three doubles in the series opener against Kansas City’s Royals, driving in runs in the seventh and ninth, and he’s now 7 for 21 (.
