Cade Cavalli’s return to the mound after 1,076 days felt like a movie moment—and he pitched like he meant it. He fired 4⅓ scoreless innings, struck out six, and reminded everyone exactly why he was once one of the franchise’s most tantalizing prospects. Meanwhile, Jeffrey Springs gave the A’s early hope, retiring 15 straight Nationals before the bottom of the sixth flipped the script. 

That change came via a leadoff solo shot from Riley Adams to knot it at 1–1. The real exclamation point came in the ninth, when Robert Hassell III doubled and CJ Abrams delivered a walk‑off single that ended a painful six‑game losing streak for the Nationals. Redemption, resilience, rookies rising—tonight had it all.
