Washington (MLB) [Lost to Philadelphia 7-1]

• Ryan Zimmerman 3B - 1/3 double (1st major league hit); played in field for 1st time, started nice looking around the horn 5-4-3 DP. I was at the game and Zimmerman seemed comfortable out there defensively. He entered the game in the top of the 4th. After the first batter reached on a double. Bobby Abreu ripped a hard liner towards Zimmerman. It was a little bit high but it appeared that Zimmerman mistimed his jump and could have caught it. He started a beautiful inning ending double play, fielding a slow groundball and quickly getting the ball to 2B so the DP could be completed on the speedy Jimmy Rollins. At the plate, Zimmerman appeared over-anxious. He faced a total of 4 pitches in 3AB. His double to left center in the 5th was hard hit as was his lineout to RF in the 7th. All in all, he looked good out there with the only criticism that he needs to show a little bit more patience and see a more pitches at the plate.
• Rick Short PH/2B - 0/1; entered the game as a PH in the 8th and fouled out to RF. He stayed in the game as the 2B only fielding a humpback line drive single to shallow RF.
• Kenny Kelly RF - 0/0; Entered the game as a defensive replacement in the 8th. Only action in the field was handling a single to RF.
• Brandon Watson PH/CF - 1/1 1BB; Entered the game as PH in the 6th. Made two putouts in CF.
