San Diego Padres pitcher Dylan Cease threw a no-hitter against the Washington Nationals on Thursday, the second in the major leagues this season.
Dylan Cease will forever get free drinks in San Diego. The right-hander tossed a no-hitter on Thursday against the Washington Nationals, marking the second time a Padre had ever done so. It took Cease 114 pitches to accomplish the feat, as he struck out nine and walked three.
The Nationals gave him problems to start the ninth, as Ildemaro Vargas worked an eight-pitch at-bat, but he eventually grounded out to second. Jacob Young had other ideas, as he grounded out to short on the first pitch of his at-bat. That brought up C.J. Abrams, who lined out to right field on a 1-0 count to put Cease in the history books. It's the second no-hitter in the big leagues this season, as Ronel Blanco of the Houston Astros accomplished the feat on April 1.
His best campaign to date is his 2022 season, when he pitched to a 2.20 ERA while finishing in second place in the AL Cy Young Award vote, behind Justin Verlander, who had earned the third of his illustrious career. But, considering the state of the White Sox, and their tendency not to sign anyone to big money deals, they sent him to San Diego, who were desperate to rebuild their starting rotation.
It's been a rather up-and-down career for Cease, whose ERA skyrocketed to 4.58 last year, but his ability to get guys to strike out will always make him a hot commodity and give him the ability to do something special any time.
