The Washington Nationals were in a rut. They now have to be feeling good about themselves after taking two of three from a Philly team that had beaten them in 43 of their last 56 meetings. Jordan Zimmerman has pitched solid all season and has allowed less hits than innings pitched, and isn't walking many either. Zimmerman has gotten the Nats out to a good start in the first game of a series where Washington has posted a 6-2 mark with him on the hill. Zack Duke was impressive in his 2011 debut, where he pitched seven scoreless innings, but after a long layoff game two often where the pitcher feels it the most. The Nats have taken seven of the last 10 vs. the Diamondbacks and I like them in this one.
