## Resource

The Nationals are primed for a playoff push as they head west to face the struggling A’s, looking to snap a losing streak and ignite their momentum after the All-Star break. With Cavalli on the mound Friday, the Nats aim to set the tone against rookie Gage Jump, while Saturday’s battle pits Ginn’s shaky stats against Littell’s recent improvements. Sunday’s finale features ace Foster Griffin vs. inconsistent Jacob Lopez — a chance for the Nats to close out the series strong and keep their postseason hopes alive.
