On May 13, 2009 — Ryan Zimmerman’s hitting streak ends at 30 games when he goes 0 for 3 with two walks and grounds out in the 9th, but Washington beats San Francisco, 6 – 3, behind the pitching of Shairon Martis, at AT&T Park

Zimmerman falls one game short of the franchise record of 31 games set by Vladimir Guerrero in 1999, when the Nationals were still the Montreal Expos. Only two Washington ballplayers, Hall of Famers Heinie Manush and Sam Rice, have had longer hit streaks than the Nats’ third baseman.
