Grapefruit League GameThread: Nationals vs Yankees from Viera...

It's late afternoon action today when the Washington Nationals welcome the New York Yankees to Viera, Florida's Space Coast Stadium for a Grapefruit League matchup at 5:05 PM EDT.

Stephen Strasburg takes the mound for the Nationals tonight, opposite Yankees' righty Masahiro Tanaka in a game that is being broadcast on MASN, the MLB Network and MLB.tv for your viewing pleasure.

Through three starts this Spring, Strasburg, the 27-year-old, '09 no.1 overall pick, who could be a free agent after this season, unless he's signed to an extension, which is a possibility, according to GM Mike Rizzo, has given up ten hits, five runs, all earned and five walks, while striking out 10 batters.
