The Sox will play their last spring training game of the year in Nationals Park Tuesday before heading up to Detroit for their season opener against the Tigers. First pitch is at 3:05 p.m. EST with MASN and WJFK providing television and radio broadcasts available on MLB.com.
The Red Sox left Florida on a good note, taking five of their last six decisions in spring. Now they're hoping they'll be able to stay hot despite the move to colder climates. To that end, it will be a full lineup taking the field against the Nationals, with Clay Buchholz on the mound as he stays on schedule to start the team's third game of the regular season.
The Nationals will counter with offseason free agent acquisition Edwin Jackson.
