VIERA, Fla. - The Nationals will get a chance to measure their lineup against one of the game's best when the Tigers send former American League Cy Young Award winner David Price to the mound. The 1 p.m. game will be aired on MASN HD.

Price, a four-time All-Star, led the majors in strikeouts last season with 271. The 6-foot-6 left-hander will be a good matchup for Bryce Harper, who last faced Price early in his rookie season and went 0-for-2 with a walk.

Dan Uggla will start at designated hitter today. He's 2-for-8 so far with a double, two walks and two strikeouts this spring.

Jordan Zimmermann makes his second start of the exhibition season today.
