JUPITER, Fla. (AP) Rain cut short Adam Wainwright's and Stephen Strasburg's final spring starts, canceling the game between the Washington Nationals and the St. Louis Cardinals in the top of the fourth inning Tuesday.

Wainwright allowed the lone run moments before lightning halted play. The Cardinals' opening day starter says he wasn't as crisp as he would have liked to be in his final spring start.

Nationals manager Dusty Baker liked what he saw from Strasburg.

Tuesday marked the second straight rainout for the Nationals, and the forecast for Wednesday's Grapefruit League finale against the New York Mets in Port St. Lucie isn't promising. Nor is the extended forecast for Friday's and Saturday's exhibition games against Minnesota in Washington.
