MILWAUKEE -- Jordan Zimmermann put on a pretty good show for his family and friends in the stands. The Auburndale, Wis., native earned his career-high 13th win and Bryce Harper hit a home run and the Washington Nationals beat the Milwaukee Brewers 4-1 on Friday. "You always want do to well in your home state and in front of your family and friends," he said. "I was happy to put up some zeroes, get the month of July over with and into a new month." Zimmermann (13-6) was 12-8 in 2012 after 32 starts. Fridays victory came in his 22nd start. He went six innings, struck out four, but walked a season-high four. "Every inning, there was a double or a walk and a guy would steal a base," Zimmermann said. "There he sat on second with no outs, but I was able to get a few ground balls and some easy outs when I needed them." He worked out of jams in the first and third innings, each time stranding Rickie Weeks at third. The Brewers finished 0 for 9 with runners in scoring position. "It wasnt that much pressure," Zimmermann said. "I just needed a good start after the last three or four I had that were just brutal. It was nice to go out there, go six and put up zeroes. We got the win. That was the main thing." Washington scored a run in the fifth off Alfredo Figaro (1-3). Harper made it 2-0 in the sixth with his 16th homer of the season. "Thats just Harp," Nationals manager Davey Johnson said. "I expect stuff like that out of Harp. He had a good game." Anthony Rendon singled home a run in the seventh. With runners at the corners, Harper added a run when he reached on an error by second baseman Weeks that allowed Denard Span to score in the ninth. Jonathan Lucroy spoiled the shutout when he hit the first pitch from Tyler Clippard in the eighth for a solo home run. Rafael Soriano pitched the ninth for his 27th save. Ian Desmond doubled over centre fielder Carlos Gomezs head in the fifth. With Span batting, Desmond stole third and then scored when third baseman Jeff Bianchi failed to field the throw from Lucroy. "We made some mistakes again today," Brewers manager Ron Roenicke said. "Desmonds steal hurt us. You get behind, you get behind on these guys and if go into the ninth inning and you have to score three runs to tie it, it makes it tough. Really we gave them a couple of runs. We need to play better." Jayson Werth went 3 for 4 with two singles and a double for Washington. Figaro was in the game because starter Tom Gorzelanny left in the second inning after being hit on the left wrist by a line drive. Werth led off the second with a sharp liner right back at the left-hander as he completed his follow-through. At first it appeared the ball struck Gorzelanny on the wrist and then rolled toward the third-base line. He raced after the ball holding his left arm, but made no effort to pick it up. Gorzelanny was examined by the teams training staff and was removed from the game. He was replaced by Figaro. The club said that Gorzelanny has a left elbow contusion. X-rays were negative. "Its a contusion of the left elbow," Roenicke said. "Its day to day. Well see how he is tomorrow. Hopefully, and for us, obviously, he can make his next start, but Im not sure." Its been a tough week for Brewers starters. Yovani Gallardo left Tuesdays game against the Chicago Cubs in the fifth inning with a strained left hamstring. He went on the 15-day disabled list Wednesday. NOTES: Spin Williams, the Nationals minor-league pitching co-ordinator, took the place of pitching coach Steve McCatty, who did not make the trip.

METAIRIE, La. -- New Orleans Saints cornerback Delvin Breaux is expected to miss six weeks after having surgery Monday to repair a broken left fibula, coach Sean Payton said.Thats a big blow, considering that Breaux has established himself as one of New Orleans top defensive players and since the Saints are extremely thin on experience behind him.The Saints other three cornerbacks in Sundays season opener were all making their NFL debuts -- second-year pro P.J. Williams and undrafted rookies?DeVante Harris?and Ken Crawley. Thats part of the reason why they allowed 25 points over the final 19 minutes in a crushing 35-34 loss to the Oakland Raiders.The Saints already signed veteran Sterling Moore last week after he was released by the Buffalo Bills. He was inactive because he was so new to the team, but he will almost certainly be active for a Week 2 matchup that doesnt get any easier --?Odell Beckham Jr. and the New York Giants.On Tuesday the Saints signed cornerback B.W. Webb to help fill Breauxs void.I dont know that it changes the vision for the defense, Payton said of Breauxs injury. Weve just got too really understand who were playing and who were taking away.dddddddddddd But I dont think by any means you start with a whole new plan.Obviously losing a good player like him can alter some things youre wanting to do coverage-wise.The Saints had one of the worst pass defenses in NFL history last season, setting league records for most touchdown passes allowed in a season (45) and opponents passer rating (116.1). They have since released veteran cornerbacks Brandon Browner and Keenan Lewis, and they placed last years nickel cornerback, Damian Swann, on injured reserve this summer.Breaux was the glue for that group, however, after his sensational debut season in 2015, coming from the Canadian Football League. The physical, 6-foot-1, 196-pounder made a remarkable comeback after breaking his neck in high school 10 years ago. He wasnt able to play in college, so he worked his way through semi-pro leagues, arena leagues and the CFL before landing the job with his hometown team. ' ' '
