Zimmermann allowed four runs -- two of them earned -- on six hits across six innings in a win over the Braves on Tuesday. He also struck out seven and didn't issue a walk. Zimmermann was quite efficient in this one, getting ahead of 75 percent of all the batters he faced with first-pitch strikes (18-of-24). He's now a solid 11-5 with a 1.13 WHIP and 2.93 ERA -- numbers that are both slightly better than his career marks of 1.16 and 3.31 -- through 178 innings (29 starts) this season.
