The Nationals learned they’ll be sending at least 3 players to the All-Star Game, but it was a former All-Star, Ryan Zimmerman, who appears to have finally regained his form. He came a triple away from the cycle, including a massive home run and 4 RBIs, to lead the Nationals to an 8-4 win.

On the one-year anniversary of manager Jim Riggleman’s shocking resignation, the Nationals looked to show just how far they’ve come since then. But one mistake by a previously unflappable reliever, combined with an offense that failed to convert several opportunities, helped the Orioles take a 2-1 victory over the Nationals, claiming the season series 4-2. It was the Nationals’ first loss in a rubber game of the season, and it dropped the team to 41-29. The division lead drops to 3 games pending the outcome of tonight’s Mets-Yankees game.

He was perfect into the fifth inning, before faltering in the 7th, but no need to fear as the bullpen closed the game out in style, tying up the series with a 3-1 win over the Baltimore Orioles.
