Elijah Dukes drove in three runs, Ryan Zimmerman had three hits and the surprising Washington Nationals won their eighth straight with a 9-2 victory over the Arizona Diamondbacks on Sunday. The Nationals' eight-game run is the second longest in their five seasons in the nation's capital. They won 10 straight from June 2-12, 2005.
Nationals third baseman Ryan Zimmerman was held out of the starting lineup Tuesday night against Florida because of a sore left shoulder. Zimmerman was hit by a pitch from Pittsburgh's Charlie Morton in the sixth inning of Monday's 8-4 victory over Pittsburgh. The soreness apparently got worse as the night went on, even though Zimmerman hit a two-run homer in the seventh.
