Welcome to the show, Jordan Zimmermann
Less than two years after the Washington Nationals made him a second-round pick out of Division III Wisconsin-Stevens Point, right-hander Jordan Zimmermann is set to make his big league debut tonight - weather permitting - against the Atlanta Braves at Nationals Park.

Thru 6: Hanging on
The Nats lead 3-2 after six, and this game, like the last two, will hinge on two things: Whether the Nationals can drive in enough baserunners to pad their lead, and whether the team's shaky bullpen can protect a tight margin.
Thru 3: Leading again
The Nationals have a 2-1 lead after three innings here, though early leads haven't done them a whole lot of good the last two days.
