What happened: Cavalli allowed one hit, walked two and struck out 10 on 103 pitches. He faced the minimum through six innings.
Why it matters: The outing extends a stretch in which Cavalli logged a 2.43 ERA and 45 strikeouts over six starts through July 23. Eight innings also left only three outs for the bullpen.
By the numbers: This was Cavalli's second 2026 start with at least seven innings, 10 strikeouts and no more than one hit; he threw seven one-hit innings with 13 strikeouts on June 30.
What to watch: Cavalli's next rotation turn will test whether he can sustain his command and workload.
