Cade Cavalli’s No-Hitter & Ortiz’s Homer | MLB News

Cade Cavalli delivered a masterclass on the mound, tossing eight scoreless innings and striking out ten batters to nearly complete a no-hitter against the Cubs — setting career highs in both innings and pitches. The Nationals cruised to a 7-0 win, avoiding a sweep, as Abimelec Ortiz blasted a three-run homer in the fifth to break it open. The Cubs’ lone hit was a bloop single, while Kevin Gausman struggled, surrendering six runs in under five innings. With Cavalli turning 28 Friday, this win marks Washington’s first no-hitter since 2015 — and sets the stage for a big road trip to New York.
