WASHINGTON (AP) -- Major league baseball's return to the nation's capital will be under the lights.
The Washington Nationals said Thursday they will play their April 14 home opener against Arizona at 7:05 p.m. It will be the first regular-season game at RFK Stadium since the expansion Washington Senators left after the 1971 season and became the Texas Rangers.
The Nationals will play an exhibition game at RFK against the New York Mets on April 3, then open at Philadelphia the following day.
D.C. United's home opener in Major League Soccer is scheduled for April 9, and officials plan to place grass over the infield dirt before every United game and remove it afterward for the Nationals.
