Cavalli’s Near-No-Hitter Shines | MLB News

Cade Cavalli nearly threw a no-hitter, taking a perfect game into the seventh inning against the Cubs before surrendering a bloop single — but still dazzled with 10 strikeouts and one hit allowed over eight innings. The Nationals cruised to a 7-0 win, capped by a bullpen that combined for a one-hitter. It’s been years since a Nationals pitcher reached this level, with Scherzer’s last no-no in 2015 and Zimmermann’s in 2014. Cavalli’s aggressive approach targeted the Cubs’ tendency to walk batters, and even after a sixth-inning walk ended his perfect game, he battled through jams with grit. He celebrated the team’s victory and stayed laser-focused on the next pitch — proving dominance isn’t just about perfection, but resilience.
