Zack Greinke (5-0, 2.04) vs. Jordan Zimmermann (2-1, 3.27).
We swept the Twins, and then flailed against the Fish. Our bullpen has provided a lot less support than the bikinis of the models up above.
But one of the few rocks we've had this season includes Zack Greinke, who is on such a roll (18 consecutive starts of 5+ innings with two runs or fewer), that the Dodgers don't want to interrupt his five-day cycle, even at the benefit of bringing ace Clayton Kershaw back. So Kershaw moves to Tuesday, and Zackster goes today.
Zimmermann won 19 as an All-Star last year, but this year has only two wins to show for his six starts, which includes a 1.2 IP performance against the Marlins (which the Nationals ended up winning). And though Zimmermann has gotten great run support from his team in his starts (9 and 10 runs in two separate outings), both he (and Greinke, for that matter) have to be tense about all those errors behind them (Washington's 27 errors have them slipping back to 26th in the majors, well behind the Dodgers' majors-leading 32 Es). Will today's session be a error-filled comedy on both sides? Or will Zimmermann be as relaxed as other Zimmermanns appear to be?

Under the sea... -O
Was this a 4:05 start, or did we have four batters in under two minutes? -Hideo "Gnomes" Nomo, ESQ
Two-out double by Hanley, and nothing to show for it.
0-0 through a half-inning.
Épale everyone!
starting Aguilas catcher is starting for the Nats today
No-out double by Denard Span. This is not good.

And, just like that, we're down 2-0.
SF is already up on PIT 2-0
One-out single by a bearded LaRoche.
Too many pitches, Zack!
2-0 Nats through two innings.
Zack at 41 pitches. Zimmermann at 46 and counting in the 3rd.
Dammit! Hanley GIDP to end the third.
We need a break here
I find MLB.com GameDay's Scout to be fucking annoying as hell. I've tried to turn it off but it keeps coming back, like a fungus.
So I'm going to start commenting on Scout's insipid comments.
Scout has plenty left in the tank, as it's noticed Sax is trying to ignore it.
No out walk in the third to Anthony Rendon (?)
Pittsburgh has clawed back a run, 2-1 SF in the third.
First and second, one out.
Pittsburgh takes a 4-2 lead! So there's that.
Kemp CS! Booooo
Águilas boys always playing well against the Dodgers :(
Andre Ks anyway.
We have four outfielders.
Crawford: BA .207
Kemp: .237
Ethier: .244
Puig: out
This is one sorry outfield. Even with an extra guy.
@Sax it's only May and they can and will do better
It's a tarp!
@Orel wish you tweet it so I can favorite it
Like Gnomes said, we need some comment page exclusives.
Anybody here got a score? My gameday is all frozed up!
Pirates up 8-2 over the Giants.
@DBT: looks like it's a rain delay
In SF: Petit chased after 4.1 IP, 8 ER. 9 H, 3 BBs. Hopefully he is still reeling when we see him later this week.
8-4 PIT. One out in the top of the sixth.
Thx Sax
holy cow, pittsburgh is giving it all back. 8-6 Pirates.
And, it's 8-7
8-7 and the pirates finally escape. criminy.
Pirates add one in the bottom of the 6th, so it's 9-7.
SF threatening in the top of the seventh, two on and one out
9-8 Pittsburgh, two RISP with one out. I gotta stop watching this game.
And...the giants have tied it at 9 at the seventh inning stretch. DAMMIT
is it still raining in DC?
Pittsburgh takes the lead in the bottom of the eighth, but SF ties it back in the top of the ninth.
10-10
still waiting
this isn't going to stop, is it?
They posted on Instagram that game will resume at 8:40 pm PT. Also, they posted Uribe dancing J-Lo's "I Luh Ya papi"
thanks Karina!
And there goes Greinke's streak of starts with 5+ innings... we could blame it on the rain, but not really.
1-2-3 inning for League.
2-0 WSH through four.
three up three down
This is league's test.
Hairston with a leadoff single in B5. Is Jerry Hairston happy, or sad?
denard span with a single as well.... none out
Near miss on a triple play, or so I heard.
