The Washington Nationals haven't beaten Zambrano since May 14th 2005, when the Inaugural Nationals knocked Zambrano off the mound after just 3.1 IP, in which they collected 4 hits and 4 ER, (well okay, he had injured his elbow, but they did put 4 runs up in that 3rd inning). Since 2005, Zambrano's (4-0) in 4 starts against DC's Nationals, who have been shut out by Zambrano in 2 of the 4 outings.

Riggler's presser
Played 9 good innings tonight as opposed to 7 last night.
Stammen got better during the game. Coulda go longer probably.
Team is frustrated with the record and will turn it around.
Sounded like he regrets the double steal when Nyjer got hosed at third.
(Riggles is clearly rusty on his press conference comfort level)
If you can’t convince them, confuse them. - President Harry S Truman
Meh.
It wasn’t a disaster. I did try to get a “Let’s go Nationals!” rally chant going in the 9th, but we were stuck in section 234 up behind the foul pole—view obs!! We razzed the guy who bought the tickets about it all night. There was definitely a DCCT in there. I’ll miss Nick. Gonzo seems to be doing okay, Stammen was steady. Overall? Meh.
