A lot has changed in the 1,076 days between Cade Cavalli’s first and second start.

At the end of Cade Cavalli’s long road back, the Nationals find a win
In his first MLB start since 2022, Cavalli impressed into the fifth inning and the Nationals ended their skid in walk-off fashion by beating the Athletics, 2-1.
