Washington Nationals lead the Tigers in early baseball season.
Sporting Comment notes Washington's sudden rise to top in the American League while Detroit falls to last. It praises Nationals' fighting spirit, Shipke’s improving hitting and fielding, and observes faster games after the new rule limiting pitchers rubbing the ball. It forecasts a tight AL race with broad team parity and mentions rising players like Konetchey and Donahue as potential stars.
