Toronto Blue Jays starter Dylan Cease was three outs away from his second career no-hitter on Wednesday in a dominant effort against the San Francisco Giants.
But Heliot Ramos broke up the bid with a clean single to lead off the bottom of the ninth inning. That pitched marked the last of Cease’s day as he left for the dugout with his Blue Jays holding a 10-0 lead.
Cease previously threw a no-hitter as a member of the San Diego Padres in 2024.
Aa combined effort by the Houston Astros on May 25 against the Texas Rangers remains MLB’s only no-hitter of the season and MLB’s only no-hitter since 2024. Blake Snell’s no-hit effort against the Cincinnati Reds as a member of the Giants on Aug 2, 2024 remains MLB’s last solo no-hitter.
Cease is in the midst of one of the best campaigns of his eight-season MLB career in his first year with Toronto. He had his best stuff against the Giants on Wednesday.
Cease was at 107 pitches through seven innings, then sat through a 31-pitch top of the eighth as Toronto plated two runs. But John Schneider sent him back out for the eighth, and he rewarded his manager's confidence with a 1-2-3 frame that featured two strikeouts.
Cease had the green-light to complete the no-hitter before Ramos broke it up. He finished the day with 11 strikeouts, 3 walks, 1 hit and no earned runs.
