ZIMMERMAN SETS RECORD

Ryan Zimmerman set the Washington Nationals’ career home run record with a solo shot and Bryce Harper connected again Monday as Washington powered its way to a 6-1 victory to cap a four-game sweep of the Cincinnati Reds. Zimmerman’s 235th homer moved him ahead of

Vladimir Guerrero for the most in Montreal Expos/Nationals history. Guerrero quickly tweeted congratulations, saying he didn’t mind being second. The National League East leaders emerged from the All-Star break with an emphatically successful series — 13 homers, including three by Harper, and 35 runs overall by the league’s top offense.
