Oh yeah, there's a game tonight. It's been an eventful day, what with the Stephen Strasburg contract extension and the aftermath of Bryce Harper's ejection last night. But the Nationals and Tigers will be back at it this evening for the second of their three-game interleague series.

Joe Ross gets the ball for the Nats, coming off a strong outing in Chicago against a very tough Cubs lineup that still resulted in a loss. He'll be facing another strong lineup tonight that features the likes Ian Kinsler, J.D. Martinez, Victor Martinez and Justin Upton. Miguel Cabrera, however, is not starting for Detroit.

Dusty Baker is going with his usual lineup against rookie right-hander Michael Fulmer, making only his third career start. Perhaps this is the game in which Anthony Rendon and especially Ryan Zimmerman get back on track, taking advantage of Harper's walks or maybe even forcing the Tigers to think twice before putting the MVP on base ...
