## Resource

The Nationals are swinging into high gear after the All-Star break with a bold new rotation strategy designed to steal playoff momentum. Cade Cavalli opens the slate, Zack Littell follows with newfound confidence, and All-Star Foster Griffin closes strong — a lineup that’s evolved from shaky starts to strategic precision. With Griffin’s late-game dominance potentially turning series into sweeps, and Littell’s ability to go deep, the bullpen gets critical rest. Add Jake Irvin’s return from injury and you’ve got a rotation built for endurance and wins — a smart, aggressive move that could keep them alive in the playoff race.
