NATIONALS HISTORY
May 13 (10-5)
2009 – Ryan Zimmerman’s 30-game hit streak (4/8-5/12/09), the longest in Nationals (2005-pres.) history,
ended, as he went 0-for-3 with two walks. In his final plate appearance, Zimmerman grounded into a 6-4
fielder’s choice in the ninth inning, but Washington eased the pain by topping the Giants, 6-3.
