Zimmerman extends hitting streak to 30

Ryan Zimmerman has swiftly extended his hitting streak to 30 games, getting a first-inning single in the Washington Nationals' game against the San Francisco Giants Tuesday night.

Zimmerman matched George Brett's 30-game streak in 1980 for the longest by a third baseman since Pete Rose's 44-game streak in 1978, although Rose played two games in left field during his famed streak.
