Spring Training Game Thread, Feb 28, 12:05 CST. Astros vs Marlins. (plus 2/27 game recap)

The Nationals and Astros fought to a 5 to 5 tie yesterday, each team managing one run off the other team’s starter.

Max Scherzer went three innings for the Nats, getting five strikeouts. Meanwhile, up-and-coming Astros prospect, Christian Javier, facing something like a starting day lineup, pitched two innings, fanning four Nats, but allowing a solo homer to Adam Eaton.

The Nats ended with 10 hits, the Astros only six.

Today the Stros take on the Marlins. Zack Greinke gets his Spring debut.
