Jordan Zimmermann took a tough-luck loss Saturday, giving up two runs -- one earned -- over eight innings against the Padres.

Zimmermann was as good as anticipated in PETCO, striking out six, walking none and scattering seven hits. One of the most underrated pitchers in the majors, Zimmermann is 7-2 with a 1.62 ERA and 45/9 K/BB rate in nine starts over 66 2/3 innings.

Jordan Zimmermann spun 7 2/3 innings of two run-ball in the Nationals' victory over the Dodgers on Monday.

He gave up nine hits but no walks, striking out five. A second-round pick of the Nats in 2007, Zimmerman owns a sparkling 7-1 record and 1.69 ERA. The must-start mixed leaguer will put both on the line Saturday in San Diego. Although a level of regression is certain going forward, we like his chances to continue dominating this weekend.

Jordan Zimmermann told ESPN's Jerry Crasnick that he's not engaged in long-term talks with the Nationals.

"As far as I know there's nothing going on," the 26-year-old right-hander said Monday. Zimmermann, a second-round pick of the Nats in 2007, boasts an exceptional 1.59 ERA, 0.82 WHIP and 34/9 K/BB ratio in 51 innings (seven starts) this season. He is arbitration-eligible in 2014 and 2015, so there's no real rush from either side.

Jordan Zimmermann allowed one run over seven innings, and the Nationals beat the Tigers 3-1 on Wednesday.

The right-hander was his usual stingy self Wednesday, allowing seven hits but limiting the potent Tigers offense to just one run. Zimmermann isn't flashy -- in fact, he may be the most underrated pitcher in baseball -- but he's consistently great, as evidenced by his 1.59 ERA and 0.82 WHIP. His next start will come Monday against the struggling Dodgers.

Tuesday night's game between the Tigers and Nationals has been postponed due to rain in the nation's capital.

Jordan Zimmermann was scheduled to pitch for the Nationals and Anibal Sanchez was on tap for the Tigers. The teams will presumably push both starters back one day.

Jordan Zimmermann held the Braves scoreless for eight innings as the Nationals won 2-0 on Wednesday.

Zimmermann started May the way he ended April -- red hot. The right-hander allowed just two baserunners in his eight innings, striking out eight in the process. He now owns a 1.64 ERA and 0.75 WHIP to go along with his 5-1 record on the year, and he has to at least be in the incredibly premature discussion for the Cy Young in the National League. He will get the Tigers early next week.

Jordan Zimmermann threw a complete-game one-hit shutout in a 1-0 win over the Reds on Friday night.

It was his third career complete game and first career shutout. Zimmermann was very efficient, needing just 91 pitches to get it done. He struck out four and walked just one in the victory and now owns a 2.00 ERA and 0.86 WHIP through five starts. While Zimmermann is often overshadowed by teammates Stephen Strasburg and Gio Gonzalez, he has the ability to emerge as one of the National League's best starting pitchers.
