Zimmermann Impressive In Spring Debut

By Matthew Leach / MLB.com

JUPITER, Fla. -- Washington right-hander Jordan Zimmermann was sharp, but received no decision in his 2011 Spring Training debut as a Cardinals split squad beat the Nationals, 7-5, at Roger Dean Stadium on Thursday afternoon.

Zimmermann, beginning his first full season back after Tommy John reconstructive elbow surgery, pitched three shutout innings and departed the game with a 2-0 lead. He allowed four hits, struck out one and walked one, throwing 28 of his 43 pitches for strikes.

"I thought it went pretty well," Zimmermann said. "I was up in the zone a little bit and got hit around a little bit, but the big thing for me was, how I was going to feel in the second and third innings? Was my arm going to get tight? I felt great. I felt awesome the whole time." CONTINUE....
