PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. - The Nationals hit the road for a second straight day, facing the Mets at Clover Park with AnÃbal SÃ¡nchez taking the mound for his second spring start.

Facing the Cardinals in Jupiter on Feb. 25, SÃ¡nchez worked two innings, surrendering one run on two hits with no walks and two strikeouts.

In his second start, SÃ¡nchez is likely to increase his workload to three innings and/or about 50 pitches.

Among those pitching in relief today will be closer Sean Doolittle, who will be making his Grapefruit League debut. He was held out of the first week of exhibition games by manager Davey Martinez in order to gradually build up arm strength.

Ryan Zimmerman is the designated hitter today, his first appearance in back-to-back games this spring.

Jacob DeGrom starts for the Mets.
