Wow. The Washington Nationals have scored a bunch of runs for Jordan Zimmermann in back-to-back starts. They must really be serious about this first-place thing they've got going. Tim Lincecum also has something serious happening. His ERA is over 6.00 after one of the worst games of his career. All-Star shortstop Ian Desmond hit his 14th home run Tuesday night, and the Nationals became the latest team to beat up on Lincecum, pounding the struggling right-hander early and often in a 9-3 victory.
