Zimmermann looks for series win, Uggla back for more (with lineups)
By Josh Land
ATLANTA - Nationals right-hander Jordan Zimmermann looks to correct an uncharacteristically poor start against in the rubber match of this season's first three-game series with the Braves. Zimmermann is 1-2 with a 5.23 ERA in four starts this year. He allowed two runs on six hits in six innings last Friday in Miami, but did not factor in the decision, leaving after having thrown 79 pitches.
Last night's hero, Dan Uggla, starts at second base again today. The former Brave is 4-for-7 in the series with a homer, two triples, three runs and six RBIs.
