(SportsNetwork.com) - Washington Nationals starting pitcher Jordan Zimmermann will tune up for the playoffs Sunday in the finale of a four-game series versus the Miami Marlins. Zimmermann has made 31 starts for NL East-champion and top-seeded Nationals, going 13-5 with a 2.78 earned run average. Zimmermann will make 32 starts for a third consecutive season and the Nationals have won each of his last 10 starts with the right-hander going 7-0 with a 2.06 ERA in that span. Washington defeated Miami, 3-2, in Zimmermanns last start on Sept. 20 and he gave up two runs -- one earned -- in six innings of work. He has given his club at least six innings over the past 11 outings. He is 6-2 in 16 starts at Nationals Park and has made that many starts in his career against the Marlins. Zimmermann is 6-3 with a 3.68 ERA in this series and 2-0 in five starts against Miami this season. Stephen Strasburg got his playoff tune-up out of the way for the Nationals in Saturdays 5-1 triumph and delivered six scoreless innings of two-hit ball with seven strikeouts and one walk. Hes been unbelievable for this past month and pretty much all year long, Nationals outfielder Bryce Harper said of Strasburg. Dating back to Sept. 13, the Nationals have won 12 straight games started by a regular member of their rotation. Asdrubal Cabrera drove in three runs for Washington, winners in 12 of the last 15 games. Washington is 74-11 when scoring four or more runs. Nationals outfielder Denard Span had two hits Saturday and broke Cristian Guzmans record for the most multi-hit games in a season with his 58th. He also tied Guzman for the most hits in a season (183). The Marlins havent been to the playoffs since winning the 2003 World Series and lost for the seventh time in 10 tries on Saturday. One game after recording a 15-7 rout at Nationals Park, the Marlins fell back into the loss column and starter Nathan Eovaldi pitched well in defeat, allowing two runs in seven innings of work. Casey McGehee had two of Miamis four hits. We just couldnt get anything going on Strasburg today, Marlins manager Mike Redmond said. Miami hopes to have a stronger Jose Fernandez back in 2015 and a healthy Giancarlo Stanton in order to compete in what was a weak NL East this season. Fernandez was out with an elbow issue and Stanton suffered damage to his face and teeth after getting hit by a fastball at Milwaukee on Sept. 11. Stanton and Fernandez are the future of the franchise and so is starting pitcher Henderson Alvarez. Alvarez is 12-6 with a 2.70 earned run average and makes his 2014 finish this afternoon. Alvarez has won two straight starts and is 6-1 in his past seven decisions, including Tuesdays 2-0 win over Philadelphia in which he posted 7 2/3 shutout innings. Alvarez defeated the Nationals with seven scoreless innings in a 3-0 win on July 29, but is only 1-3 with a 2.61 ERA in seven career starts against them. The Nationals swept a four-game set in Miami last weekend and are 12-6 in the season series.

Louis and Ryan Kesler have demanded to be traded.MILWAUKEE -- Lance Lynn brought the Brewers fast start to a halt. Mixing a fastball that topped 95 mph with his effective slider, the St. Louis Cardinals right-hander struck out 11 and allowed three hits over seven innings in a 4-0 victory Monday night to snap Milwaukees nine-game winning streak. Lynn (3-0) frustrated the Brewers all night. He left Carlos Gomez twisting in the batters box on swings and misses. He made Jonathan Lucroy, a .357 hitter, whiff badly on a fastball low in the zone in the second and froze Scooter Gennett on a heater outside. "Location. He was making good pitches early on and it looked like he had a little more life," Cardinals manager Mike Matheny said. Jhonny Peralta hit a solo shot in the second off Brewers starter Matt Garza, and Jon Jay had a three-run homer to the right field corner in the sixth. Reliever Carlos Martinez tossed two scoreless innings to finish off the surprising Brewers, who still have the majors best record at 10-3. Manager Ron Roenicke said he didnt think Garza (0-2) had his best stuff, yet Garza kept pace with Lynn until running into trouble in the sixth. Allen Craig reached on a fielders choice with two outs and Peralta singled to set up Jays homer off a hanging breaking ball. Until then, the Brewers seemed as though they were close to getting out of the jam after throwing out a runner at home and retiring a runner trying to advance to third for the second out. "I felt we had momentum after we had the tag at home ... and then (Jays homer) was a backbreaker," Garza said. "But were fine. Well come back and well start a new (streak) tomorrow." Lynn cooled off a Brewers team that was off to its best start since opening the 1987 season with 13 straight wins. Milwaukees best hope to score came in the fifth after No. 8 hitter Logan Schafer doubled to right with two outs to put runners at second and third. But that brought Garza, a career .094 hitter, to the plate and he struck out on three pitches. Ottherwise, the Brewers didnt get another runner past second.dddddddddddd. Lynn boasted a career 2.53 ERA in 10 games against the Brewers coming in, and his mastery of Milwaukee continued. "He throws the nice breaking ball and he usually keeps the ball down well," Roenicke said. "Every time Ive seen the guy, hes tough." With Lynn in control, about the only other drama provided by the Cardinals was when leadoff hitter Matt Carpenter was ejected in the fifth after apparently saying something to umpire Bob Davidson following a called third strike. "Matt didnt like what he saw; the umpire didnt like Matts opinion of what he saw. He said something to Matt, Matt returned something -- there was no foul language -- but the umpire had heard enough," Matheny said. "We were barking the majority of the game. "Hopefully theres no follow-up on that. Checking out the pitch, it wasnt a pitch he should be swinging at. Thats frustrating. You cant take emotions out of this game." Garza allowed nine hits and four runs while striking out six in seven innings. Rookie reliever Wei-Chung Wang, a Rule 5 pick, pitched a scoreless ninth in his big league debut.
