Nationals Vs. Mets - April 8, 2011

Jordan Zimmermann got the ball rolling with an early two-run single off R.A. Dickey and earned the win, Ivan Rodriguez's two-run single offered breathing room, and the Nationals' bullpen fended off several Mets rallies to put a damper on the opener at Citi Field.
