Jordan Zimmermann throws Nationals' first ever no-hitter
Nationals pitcher Jordan Zimmermann threw a no-hitter Sunday for the first time in franchise history since the team moved from Montreal to Washington.
Stephen Souza came in as a defensive replacement in the top of the ninth inning and recorded the game's final out on a diving catch in left field.
The franchise's last no-hitter was Dennis Martinez's perfect game on July 28, 1991. The Montreal Expos moved to Washington and became the Nationals in 2005.

Zimmermann threw 104 pitches, 79 of which were strikes. He struck out ten batters and walked one. Two batters reached base—one on a walk, the other on a wild pitch after a strikeout.
