Sometimes a pitcher just has it all going on — and Wednesday night in Texas, Washington Nationals starter C. Cavalli was THAT guy. Cavalli threw 6.0 innings of shutout baseball, allowing only 3 hits, walking 1 batter, and racking up a whopping 11 strikeouts. That is serious business. The Rangers offense couldn't figure him out at all, and the Nationals backed him up with a 6–0 final score. Texas was held completely off the board — a goose egg in front of their home fans!
Eleven strikeouts in just six innings means Cavalli was punching out almost two batters per inning. That's the kind of performance that makes opposing hitters want to go back to the dugout and take a long nap. The Rangers entered Wednesday sitting at 62–65 in the AL West, and this loss doesn't help their playoff hopes one bit. Meanwhile, Washington (61–67) gave their fans something to cheer about in what's been a tough season.
It was one of the best pitching lines of the entire day, and on a night full of great games — two of which went to extra innings! — Cavalli's gem stood out as the story of the night. Keep an eye on this guy, Jacob. Eleven K's is no joke!
It was a MASSIVE night of baseball with 15 games on the schedule. Two went to extra innings, one featured an 11-strikeout pitching gem, and Mookie Betts reminded everyone why he's a superstar. Here's every result:
