How will No. 5 starter be chosen?
Each of the three contenders for the final spot in the Nationals’ Opening Day rotation has had the opportunity to pitch two innings now, and if this competition is strictly about performance, Ross Detwiler (who was roughed up by the Yankees for four runs — three earned — and five hits Monday) clearly has taken…

Nats Journal: Ross Detwiler’s first start, curveballs; Tanner Roark’s solid two innings -- and other notes
For the first time in eight months, starter Ross Detwiler climbed onto a mound and faced major league hitters. A herniated disk in his lower back claimed the second half of his season last year. So forgive Detwiler if he was too amped up on Monday afternoon in Tampa when facing the New York Yankees. He got away with misplaced pitches in his first inning, but suffered as he elevated more sinkers in his second and last inning of the Nationals’s 4-2 loss, their first defeat in four Grapefruit League games.

Detwiler glad to be facing live hitters again
VIERA, Fla. — Ross Detwiler hasn’t faced big-league hitters since July, when a lingering back injury prematurely ended his 2013 season. So Sunday’s live batting practice session, while baring scant resemblance to a major-league ballgame, did represent a significant step for the left-hander. “I think anytime you see a hitter in there, especially if you…
