A No Hitter Snuffed: Cavalli's Career Defining Moment Falls Just Short The Washington Nationals' Cade Cavalli came within a single pitch of pitching a no hitter against the Chicago Cubs on Tuesday.
His 6 2/3 innings of no hit baseball showcased exceptional skill and strategy, but it was his ability to adapt in high pressure situations that truly set him apart.
Cavalli's aggressive approach to pitching, competing over the plate against a patient Cubs lineup, paid off as he struck out 10 batters en route to a career high eight innings.
