The Nationals enter tonight's game against the Yankees having won four consecutive games that Jordan Zimmermann has started. The right-hander hurled six scoreless innings against the Padres in last Friday's 10-0 victory while also collecting a double at the plate.
Zimmermann will work with Wilson Ramos behind the plate this evening. Ramos extended his major league-leading 19-game hitting streak with a solo homer last night that tied the game in the sixth. Over the stretch, Ramos is batting .365 (27-for-74), with four doubles and 12 RBIs.
