Postgamer #138: Nats Clinch Series Win Behind Bounce Back Outing From Cavalli, Will Go For The Sweep Today: A Recap

Mark it, yesterday was one of the rare instances this season where I asked for a strong outing from a Nationals’ starting pitcher, and actually got it. Cade Cavalli took the mound last night for the first time since getting lit up in a blowout at Yankee Stadium, and the rookie showed an immense amount of maturity, bouncing back with a winning start.

Game #138 Nats need Cavalli to prove his previous start was the outlier!

The Washington Nationals ended their long losing streak with a win to remember as Andrew Alvarez had one of the best statistical debuts in Nats history. We will see what he does this weekend in Wrigley Field. Baseball is all about, “What have you done for me lately.” And that is exactly how the fans feel about Cade Cavalli who starts today after he got shelled last week in Yankee Stadium in 2⅓ innings with 7 earned runs surrendered.

Postgamer #137: Nats Shut Out Marlins Behind Great Debut From Alvarez: A Recap

Photos by Sol Tucker for TalkNats

Well, that was a much-needed breath of fresh air for Washington Nationals fans everywhere. The Nats brought home a 2-0 win over the Marlins yesterday to snap the eight-game losing streak, and in the process, could have found a new member of their starting rotation. Andrew Alvarez started on the bump in this one, making his major league debut along with his battery mate, CJ Stubbs, who was also making his debut. This was a combo that I’ll admit scared me. It turned out to be a brilliant move, as Alvarez gave us five scoreless innings, and Stubbs caught a shutout in his debut, the first time since 2019 that’s happened in the majors.

The only scoring in this one came in the bottom of the second inning. If anyone on this team has quit and given up on this season, all I know is it’s not Daylen Lile. An RBI triple by Lile, his fifth triple of the season, put the Nats ahead 1-0, and that lead was doubled by Andres Chaparro, who brought Lile home on a sacrifice fly.

Game #137 Andrew Alvarez’s debut game!

The Washington Nationals have a pair of debuts today with Andrew Alvarez as their starting pitching and CJ Stubbs as his catcher. While Stubbs came up last week to replace the injured Drew Millas, Alvarez essentially replaces MacKenzie Gore in the rotation.

Postgamer #136: Nats Complete 0-7 Week, Swept By Rays At Home: A Recap

The Nationals capped off a winless week and extended their losing streak to eight games with a 7-4 loss to the Rays this afternoon. Brad Lord followed up his worst career start with an even worse one this afternoon, going just three innings and allowing seven runs. It just feels like every game this week, and most of the season for that matter, has blended together, and not in a good way.

Game #135 Saturday in the Park

The Washington Nationals are finishing up their August schedule in this final weekend of the month, while currently mired in a 6-game losing streak. The Nats went 0-12 with RISP and left 13 runners on-base in last night’s game that resulted in a 4-1 loss. That is a new level of ineptitude.
