Cade Cavalli Fans 13 in 7 Innings as Fenway Brawl Ends With 3 Ejections

Summary
Seven innings from Cade Cavalli produced a career-best line in Boston: 13 strikeouts on 100 pitches, one hit allowed and one unearned run.
The outing came after a fourth-inning brawl erupted when Cavalli yelled at Willson Contreras after a called third strike, prompting benches to clear and warnings to both teams.
Three ejections followed — Contreras, Red Sox manager Chad Tracy and Nationals pitcher Miles Mikolas — while umpires declined Boston's demand to toss Cavalli.
Cavalli kept dominating after the melee, drawing boos at Fenway and finishing with nine swinging strikeouts as Washington chased a series win Wednesday.
