It was Zimmerman's worst start of the season, and he now has a 4.57 ERA, 1.39 WHIP and 15:7 K:BB over 21.2 innings.

Taken deep twice Thursday Zimmermann (1-1) gave up two runs on six hits and three walks while fanning two in Game 2 of Thursday's doubleheader against the Mariners. He was tagged with the loss.
Impact Zimmermann started the season with back-to-back quality starts, but he was unable to continue that run here, leaving three outs shy of achieving that feat again. Zimmermann only allowed the Mariners to score via the long ball in this one, as both Dylan Moore and Mitch Haniger took him deep. That has been an issue for the 26-year-old left-hander so far, as he's given up four homers in 17 innings across three starts in 2021.
