Washington and Detroit were tied at 1-1 after five, and Nationals’ lefty Enny Romero got two quick outs on three pitches in the Tigers’ half of the sixth before the home team in Lakeland, Florida’s Joker Marchant Stadium rallied for two runs, taking the lead, 3-1, but the Nationals rallied for three in the eighth, and went on to win, 5-4.
E-Jax vs DET: With A.J. Cole and Erick Fedde considered the frontrunners for the fifth spot in the Nationals’ rotation (and Cole the leader going into Spring Training since he’s out of options and further along in his development), Edwin Jackson, Tommy Milone, and others in camp competing for jobs this Spring will likely end up providing organizational depth.
