SAN FRANCISCO -- Third baseman Ryan Zimmerman's hitting streak ended at 30 games Wednesday afternoon at AT&T Park, but the Nationals started a winning streak with a 6-3 victory over the Giants.
Zimmerman went 0-for-3 and walked twice, one of those intentional. Giants starter Barry Zito kept him off balance with plenty of off-speed pitches and the occasional well-placed fastball. He went 0-for-2 against Zito with two walks, including the intentional walk in the seventh.
Zimmerman's final at-bat of the game came in the ninth against left-handed reliever Pat Misch, who was recalled from Triple-A Fresno on Tuesday and made his first appearance Wednesday. On an 0-1 pitch with no outs and runners on first and third, Zimmerman grounded sharply to shortstop Edgar Renteria, who flipped to second for the forceout.
Zimmerman then received a standing ovation from many of the fans at AT&T.
Zimmerman hitless, but Nats find a way....
