AI Summary
Cade Cavalli delivered a strong pitching performance with eight strikeouts over 6 1/3 innings in a win against the Orioles, though he allowed three runs late in the game.
Cavalli stranded two runners in each of the first two innings before settling in for four more quiet innings. He held the Orioles scoreless over six frames, then ran into some trouble in the seventh. Samuel Basallo and Tyler O'Neill started the inning with back-to-back homers. The third batter would reach before Cavalli recorded the first out. That would end his day at 94 pitches. It was an excellent start for the 27-year-old right-hander despite the late trouble as he struck out eight with no walks. He'll take a 4.05 ERA, 1.54 WHIP, and a 52/18 K/BB ratio across 46 2/3 innings into a home start against the Mets on Thursday.
