Toronto Blue Jays starting pitcher Dylan Cease pitches a near no-hit performance as the Blue Jays defeat the San Francisco Giants 10-0 on Wednesday. Multiple reports say Cease stays in control for much of the outing, completing eight innings with 11 strikeouts and allowing one hit. Yahoo Sports adds that the one hit is a single by Giants leadoff hitter Heliot Ramos. Cease carries his bid into the late stages, with one account describing that the no-hitter is broken up in the ninth inning, ending the chance for a second career no-hitter. Another report notes Cease works seven no-hit innings before the bid is lost. The near-perfect stretch includes high pitch volume, with Yahoo Sports reporting Cease throws a career-high 118 pitches. Despite the late disruption, the Blue Jays’ offense produces a decisive margin, and Cease’s strikeout total and run prevention define the game’s outcome. After the start, Cease shares his reaction to the near-no-hitter.
