Ryan Zimmerman K’d on a foul-tip strike three, swinging at a 96.5 MPH 0-2 fastball up high and inside from Miami Marlins’ southpaw Trevor Rogers with a runner on third and two out in the first inning on Sunday, in the series finale of the three-game set in Nationals Park.
Rogers started Zimmerman off with a changeup, up and in, then followed up with back-to-back fastballs, both away, and both fouled off, the second into catcher Sandy León’s mitt.
The second time up, with two on and two out in the third, Rogers, 23, started Zimmerman, 36, off with back-to-back changeups, both of which Zimmerman fouled off, falling behind, 0-2, quickly.
