WASHINGTON -- Jordan Zimmermann took a shutout into the seventh inning while Roger Bernadina and Rick Ankiel provided the offence as the Washington Nationals beat the Colorado Rockies 2-0 on Sunday to head into the all-star break with a . Nike Free 5.0 Damen Günstig .500 record for the first time since 2005. This amounted to a rout for the Nationals, whose previous 10 victories had come by either one run or in extra innings. They ended a three-game losing streak, too -- and each of those defeats were by a single run. Zimmermann (6-7) went 6 1-3 innings, allowing four singles. He also struck out six and didnt walk anyone, continuing his impressive return from reconstructive elbow surgery. He was nearly matched by Colorados Jhoulys Chacin (8-7), who gave up one run and four hits in seven innings. Bernadina hit a broken-bat RBI single in the sixth, while Ankiel hit his third homer of the season, off reliever Matt Reynolds in the eighth. Nationals closer Drew Storen worked around a two-out double to earn his 23rd save in 26 chances. This was the third time in Zimmermanns last six starts that he didnt allow a run. He also has pitched at least six innings in 13 consecutive outings. It probably did not hurt this time around that Rockies manager Jim Tracy held three starting position players out of the lineup so theyd get an extended rest because of the midseason break that begins Monday: Carlos Gonzalez, who recently missed four games with a bruised right wrist; Ty Wigginton and Chris Iannetta. "Were obviously very hopeful that well be ready to completely rock n roll by next Thursday," Tracy said, referring to Colorados next game. While the Nationals are 46-46, the Rockies fell to 43-48; they were above .500 at this point of each of the last two seasons. Washington was 52-36 at the all-star break in 2005, the teams first year in the nations capital after moving from Montreal, but finished that season 81-81. On Sunday, neither team got a runner as far as second base -- let alone home -- until the bottom of the sixth inning. Zimmermann allowed singles to Todd Helton in the first and seventh, Ian Stewart in the fifth, and Chacin in the sixth. Chacin was even better for stretches. He retired Washingtons first 11 batters, until Ryan Zimmerman bounced a single through the left side of the infield with two outs in the fourth inning. The Nationals didnt have a second baserunner until the sixth, when Ian Desmond led off with an infield single. Zimmermann sacrificed him to second with a bunt, and Bernadina flared a hit to right to make it 1-0. Helton led off the seventh with a blooper that ticked off the glove of sliding left-fielder Laynce Nix, and after Troy Tulowitzki popped out, Zimmermann was done. On came Ryan Mattheus, who got two quick outs to end the inning. Not until the eighth, with all-star Tyler Clippard on the mound, did the Rockies put a runner on second base. Stewart singled, and pinch-hitter Wigginton walked, before Clippard struck out pinch-hitter Jason Giambi looking, then got Mark Ellis to fly out.

The Los Angeles Kings are showcasing their suffocating defence again.It doesnt even matter who is in goal.Dustin Brown had two goals and an assist, Martin Jones stopped 26 shots, and the defending Stanley Cup champions beat the Arizona Coyotes 4-0 on Thursday night for their second straight shutout and third in four games.Two nights after Jonathan Quick stopped 31 shots against Boston, Jones extended the Kings defensive mastery in his first start since blanking Minnesota on Nov. 26.That was a really complete road game for us, said Jones, who secured his sixth career shutout in his 24th start. We did a really good job eliminating the Grade A scoring chances, and the chances that we did give up, those are pucks that Im expected to stop.It was a really solid game for everybody.Alec Martinez had a goal and an assist a day after agreeing to a contract extension, and Jared Stoll added a power-play goal late in the second period as the Kings snapped a five-game losing streak in Arizona.When were on our game — forechecking, getting the puck back and then not letting go of it — when we do that we kind of control the game, Brown said.Arizona goalie Mike Smith was yanked in another lacklustre performance that led to a 20-minute, players-only meeting after the game.The Coyotes gave up 42 shots and were shut out at home for the second straight game. They have lost six straight home games for the first time since early 2009.I think everyone had the opportunity to express themselves and what they think, Coyotes captain Shane Doan said. Its important to understand that no one will feel sorry for you. There will be a lot of people pointing fingers from the outside, and weve got to make sure were good from the inside.The Kings entered the night just 2-4-4 on the road, but had more energy in their third win in four games. And Jones is proving to be one of the top backup goalies in the league. Adidas Zx 700 Herren. The undrafted 24-year-olds best stop might have come on Tobias Rieders point-blank, short-handed attempt midway through the final period.Hes a pretty good goalie, Brown said. Hes really good at smothering the pucks. He doesnt give up a bunch of rebounds, and as a result theres not a lot of second opportunities on him.After Joe Vitale failed to get a shot off for Arizona in front midway through the second period, the Kings rushed the other way with precision. Browns shot through a screen beat Smith on the glove side at 9:57 to make it 2-0.Brown, who has nine points in eight games, got the Kings on the board when he intercepted Kyle Chipchuras poor pass in the neutral zone, then skated in alone and beat Smith stick-side at 8:59 of the first period for his fifth goal.The Kings put it out of reach late in the second with Chipchura serving a high-sticking penalty.Martinez, who got a six-year, $24 million extension, took a shot from the point, and Stoll slightly redirected the puck, which slowly squirted through Smith at 15:41.Coyotes coach Dave Tippett then pulled Smith, who stopped 17 shots, and replaced him with David Dubnyk.Smith entered with more wins (11-4-1) against Los Angeles than any other opponent. But Smith and the Coyotes have looked nothing like the team that lost to the Kings in the 2012 Western Conference finals as they lost for the seventh time in nine games.Youre paid to be a top player on your team, youve got to perform like one, Smith said. It hasnt happened. Its got to be better.NOTES: The Coyotes have gone eight periods at home without scoring. ... The Kings improved to 11-0-3 when they score first. ... Kings RW Marian Gaborik (upper body) sat out a third straight game. ... Coyotes D Connor Murphy (upper body) missed his second straight game. cheap jerseys cheap jerseys cheap nfl jerseys Ray Ban Outlet Michael Kors Outlet Michael Kors Sale Cheap Michael Kors ' ' '
