Ross to start, Roark to follow against Marlins (with lineups)
By Pete Kerzel
VIERA, Fla. - Right-hander Joe Ross will get the start for the Nationals today, with righty Tanner Roark set to follow him to the mound. Both pitchers are expected to throw about 50 pitches, with a maximum of three innings.
Both Ross and Roark have designs on spots in the starting rotation, so today's game amounts to a little head-to-head competition.
Jose Fernandez starts for the Marlins in his Grapefruit League debut.
Jonathan Papelbon is scheduled to pitch today for the Nationals, so it appears he has returned from his family emergency leave.
