Happy St. Patrick's Day Houston Astros fans! It's a great day to unwind and catch up on some Astros baseball. Houston will host the Washington Nationals on Friday at The Ballpark of the Palm Beaches as they continue their Grapefruit League action. MLB Opening Day is just around the corner!

The Astros are coming off of an encouraging 3-0 victory over the St. Louis Cardinals on Thursday with first baseman José Abreu playing star of the show with a 3-for-4 performance including a home run. 

Houston will look to continue their success on Friday against the Nationals.

First pitch is scheduled for 12:05 p.m. CST and Hunter Brown is slated to take the mound for the Astros. He will face off against MacKenzie Gore.

Unfortunately, the game will not be televised on Tuesday in either the St. Louis or Houston markets.

However, it can be listened to on the radio SportsTalk 790 or the MLB app.
