Washington Nationals vs Houston Astros game thread

The Houston Astros are “hosting” the Washington Nationals in their shared stadium tonight. Trevor Williams will take the mound for the Nats tonight. Jose Tena will be a player to watch as he battles for a spot on the roster. Amed Rosario will start in the outfield for the first this spring. Here is the lineup.

The Astros have Lance McCullers Jr. on the mound. McCullers has not pitched since 2022 due to a variety of injuries. We will also get to see Jose Altuve out in left field, which still feels so bizarre.
