Article: Hernandez hurls Mets to win

NEW YORK - Livan Hernandez shut down Ryan Zimmerman and the Nationals, pitching the New York Mets' first complete game of the season Tuesday night in a 6-1 win over Washington.

Hernandez (4-1) worked around nine hits in going the distance for the 46th time in his career, most recently in May 2008 with Minnesota.

Zimmerman's streak of safely reaching base ended at 43 games. He went 0 for 4 and struck out twice, falling three games short of the franchise record set by Rusty Staub for Montreal from 1969-70.
