Goodman Leads Rockies in Trade Deadline Push | Washington Nationals News

Hunter Goodman is heating up, carrying the Rockies with clutch homers and consistent production — including a go-ahead blast Tuesday that sparked an 87 win over the Nationals. Now, with the trade deadline looming, the Rockies aim to keep momentum rolling in the series finale, featuring rookie ace Gabriel Hughes on the mound. Hughes has been solid in his first three starts, tossing quality innings while limiting damage. Facing a dangerous Nationals lineup, Hughes must stay sharp — especially against ace Cade Cavalli, who’s been dominant this season. Meanwhile, rising stars like Jake McCarthy and Mickey Moniak are making their case for trades, with McCarthy’s .300+ average drawing serious interest. Cole Carrigg, another rookie, adds energy and a first-time matchup against Cavalli. Every at-bat matters as the Rockies juggle performance and potential deals before the deadline.
