Lots of impressive swings tonight…some from All Star Josh Hamilton…Hamilton hit a record 28 homers during the first round of tonight’s Home Run Derby at Yankee Stadium.
…Some from Ryan Zimmerman, making his first rehab start for the Potomac Nationals in Salem, VA. Ryan, the DH, went 2 for 5 with 2 doubles and a run. Potomac lost 8-6. Detwiler started, but received a no decision. We’re thrilled that Ryan’s on his way back.
