| WASHINGTON -- After Jordan Zimmermann put the Washington Nationals in position to win on the mound, Denard Spans legs and Ryan Zimmermans bat made sure they beat the Chicago Cubs. Zimmermans eighth inning single drove in Span for the go-ahead run as the surging Nationals capped a strong weekend with a 2-1 win over the Cubs on Sunday. The expected pitchers duel took place as Zimmermann outdueled Jake Arrieta over six innings and left with a 1-0 lead. "The starter for them today was as advertised, tough," Zimmerman said of Arrieta. "The way Jordan pitched, that was a game we needed to win." The Cubs tied it in the seventh on Starlin Castros sacrifice fly against Drew Storen. Spans hustle turned a soft hit to right field off Pedro Strop (1-4) into a double leading off the eighth. The Cubs challenged the play, but replay showed that the sliding Span avoided the tag. "The fact that he broke out of the box hard and thought two (bases) from the beginning of it was key for us," Nationals manager Matt Williams said. Two outs later, the Cubs intentionally walked Adam LaRoche to bring up Zimmerman, who ripped a single to left to score Span from second. Tyler Clippard (6-2) worked out of trouble in the eighth inning. Rafael Soriano pitched the ninth and earned his 21st save for the Nationals, who have won seven of eight. Washington moved within one-half game of NL East-leading Atlanta. The Nationals took two of three games in the series, including 13-0 on Saturday to break Chicagos four-game winning streak. Zimmermann allowed seven hits with one walk and struck out five. He has given up two earned runs or fewer in seven straight starts. The right-hander is 3-2 with a 1.26 ERA in that span. "I think he found his slider," Williams said. "Gives him another weapon." The Cubs had at least one hit in each of the first six innings, but couldnt generate a clutch one versus Zimmermann. Chicago left 12 runners on base and went 1 for 9 with runners in scoring position. "I fell behind hitters and wasnt able to throw first-pitch strikes," Zimmermann said. "Guys got on base, and I had to work out of a few jams. Other than that I threw the ball well." Following this weekends blockbuster trade that sent starters Jeff Samardzija and Jason Hammel to the Oakland As, Arrieta inherited the No. 1 role in the Cubs rotation. He has pitched to that level lately. The righty won his four previous starts and flirted with no-hitters in his last two. Arrieta carried a perfect game into the seventh inning on June 24 against Cincinnati and went 7 2-3 innings without allowing a hit at Boston on June 30. Washington ended such hopes immediately. Span hit a fly ball that sailed over the outfielders for a double leading off the first. One out later he scored on Jayson Werths groundout for a 1-0 lead. Arrieta allowed four hits and one run over six innings with three walks and five strikeouts. He gave up two singles to open the fifth, but escaped the jam. Zimmermann struck out while attempting to bunt the runner over. "It was a dogfight," Arrieta said. "I really had to grind it out there. I had guys on base. I had to make pitches in big situations. I was able to do that." Storen entered having allowed only three earned runs this season and only one in 17 appearances since May 17. The Cubs threatened in the eighth, putting runners at second and third with one out against Clippard, but didnt score. Pinch-hitter Wellington Castillo struck out looking, and Ryan Sweeney grounded out. Justin Ruggiano, Anthony Rizzo, and John Baker all had two hits for the Cubs. NOTES: The Cubs recalled RHP Blake Parker from Triple-A Iowa before the game. Parker takes the roster spot created by the trade with Oakland. ... Chicago hasnt announced who will replace Samardzija and Hammel when their rotation spots come up Wednesday and Thursday. Edwin Jackson (5-8, 4.99) will open the five-game series at Cincinnati on Monday against fellow RHP Mike Leake (6-7, 3.47). ...

The Flyers struggled early defensively versus the Toronto Maple Leafs on Saturday before pulling away for a 7-4 win. They trailed 2-0 and 3-2 in the first period, but ripped off five straight goals to pull away. Claude Giroux had a pair of goals and two assists, while Jakub Voracek tied a career high with four assists. Voracek leads the NHL with 42 points, three more than Giroux and Dallas Tyler Seguin, and his 30 assists also top the league. Giroux has 29 helpers on the season. Its great to get a lot of goals in one game, Giroux said. That was fun. Michael Raffl and Sean Couturier finished with a goal and an assist, while defenseman Nicklas Grossmann netted his career-high third goal of the season. Ray Emery allowed four goals on 25 shots in the victory, which snapped a two- game slide and came in the opener of an eight-game road trip. With No. 1 goaltender Steve Mason out for at least the weekend with a back injury suffered in practice on Friday, 33-year-old Rob Zepp is expected to make his NHL debut in net tonight. Zepp has gone 8-5-4 in 17 games with the Lehigh Valley Phantoms of thhe American Hockey League this season after spending the previous seven campaigns in the German Elite League.dddddddddddd Flyers forward Zac Rinaldo also is questionable with an upper-body injury sustained versus the Leafs. Philadelphias offense will go up against a Winnipeg team that ranks fourth in the NHL with just 2.21 goals allowed per game. That comes despite the club currently missing four defenseman due to injury. Tobias Enstrom, Zach Bogosian and Mark Stuart are all out with lower-body injuries, while Jacob Trouba has an upper-body issue. Winnipeg has won two straight, including a 2-1 win over the Boston Bruins on Friday. Evander Kane and Mathieu Perreault scored the goals and Michael Hutchinson had 30 saves. Real good goaltending, said Jets coach Paul Maurice. Then just an awful lot of hard, scramble battles. Defenseman Jay Harrison had an assist in his Jets debut after being acquired from the Carolina Hurricanes the previous game. Winnipeg will close out a four-game homestand tonight and Ondrej Pavelec figures to draw the start in net tonight. He is 7-4-1 in his career versus the Flyers with a 3.14 GAA and .910 save percentage in 13 games with 12 starts. The Jets have lost four of their last six versus the Flyers, but have won the last two meetings in Winnipeg.
