The Washington Nationals are surging in the NL playoff race, snapping a two-game losing streak with an emphatic 8-0 shutout over the Rockies, thanks to Cade Cavalli’s gem and a potent offense. Just 1.5 games behind the final wild card spot, this young squad is proving they can compete — even as front office boss Paul Toboni juggles rebuilding the farm system. With the trade deadline looming, Washington may trade prospects or bolster their pitching to boost their slim 7% playoff odds. But for now, playing meaningful baseball in late July is a huge win for their development — and under Toboni and manager Blake Butera, they’re showing progress faster than expected.
