Nationals' Ryan Zimmerman: Launches sixth homer Sunday
Zimmerman went 2-for-3 with a walk and a two-run home run in Sunday's 6-3 win over the Mets.
Analysis:
It's his sixth homer of the season -- and third in his last five games -- as Zimmerman continues to put together a massive April. The 32-year-old insists that he hasn't changed his approach at the plate and is simply healthier than he's been in years, but that explanation seems a little thin, considering that Zimmerman hasn't had a slugging percentage higher than .500 since 2010, yet he's now slashing .387/.441/.774 through 18 games in 2017.
