Cavalli Dominates Cubs in Near No-Hit Bid for Nationals
Washington's Cade Cavalli turned in a standout performance against Chicago, keeping no-hit hopes alive deep into the game.
Cade Cavalli impressed at Nationals Park in a start against the Cubs, retiring batters so efficiently that no-hitter talk began as early as the third inning. He did not complete the no-hitter but finished with what beat reporter Mark Zuckerman described as a brilliant performance. The outing signals Cavalli is pitching at a high level and could be a recurring factor in Washington's rotation going forward.
