A three game sweep of the Braves puts us 1/2 game back of the Mets in the NL East. We are now tied for the wild card lead with the San Diego Padres.
Ryan Zimmerman was named National League player of the week, after hitting .462 with 12 hits in 26 at-bats, along with 4 home runs and 7 RBI. For the year he is hitting .296 with 18 home runs and 62 RBI. After signing his three year extension, he finally looks to be coming into his own and tapping into his potential.
Looking ahead to the month of July, we only play three games against the Mets within the division. Ben Sheets is due back on one week, so he should provide a nice boost to our rotation. We still have a couple weeks to decide if we need to add a player to make a run at the playoffs, or whether we should stand pat.
