Jordan Zimmermann, who made Washington Nationals history when he threw the team’s first no-hitter in 2014, retired from baseball Tuesday.
Zimmermann was a standout member of the Nationals’ rotation from 2009 to 2015. He threw an immaculate inning in 2011 — striking out three batters on nine pitches. Zimmermann earned two All-Star nods, the first coming in 2013, when he led the National League with 19 wins to go along with his 3.25 ERA and two shutouts.
The following season found him in the Midsummer Classic once again, and on the final day of the regular season, Zimmermann secured his place in Nationals lore.
