Now departed from their Lakeland, Florida Spring Training home, the Detroit Tigers travel to Washington, D.C. to take on the Washington Nationals for their final exhibition game of the spring.
There appears to be rain in the forecast for our nation’s capitol, so we’ll have to wait and see if they actually get this game in. They’re not likely to force it if the conditions get slippery.
