Nationals Cade Cavalli matches 3-time Cy Young winner with strikeout performance

Washington Nationals right-hander Cade Cavalli recorded 10 strikeouts in back-to-back starts, a feat not achieved by a Nationals pitcher since three-time Cy Young Award winner Max Scherzer did it in July 2020. Cavalli's consecutive double-digit strikeout performances mark a notable milestone in his development as a starter. The comparison to Scherzer highlights the rarity of the accomplishment in Washington's pitching history.
