Nationals out to thwart Unit's shot at 300

Mark Selig / MLB.com
After being rained out Wednesday night, Giants starter Randy Johnson, 45, has an opportunity to make history. And he'll be doing so against Jordan Zimmermann -- a pitcher almost half his age, with nearly one-hundredth as many victories.

Nationals probable pitcher

Jordan Zimmermann

  • #27 RHP
  • (2-2) 6.07 ERA 47 SO
The Nationals' first-round pick in the 2007 First-Year Player Draft made his third Major League start his last time out, and it was a rude awakening for the young lefty. He lasted just four innings against the Phillies at Citizens Bank Park, in which he gave up five runs on 10 hits, including four doubles -- two by leadoff hitter Jimmy Rollins -- and a triple by Pedro Feliz.

Johnson gets 300

Chris Haft / MLB.com
After enduring a one-game postponement and a 36-minute rain delay, Randy Johnson got the job done, getting his 300th win on his first attempt. The Giants gave him two runs in the second inning and then held off the Nationals, helped in part by sparkling defense, including Johnson's own.

No stopping history

Mark Selig / MLB.com
The Nationals got a solid six-inning effort from rookie starter Jordan Zimmermann, who did not allow a runner outside of the second inning, but the two runs he gave up in that frame were enough for Randy Johnson, who became the 24th member of the 300-win club.
