SAN FRANCISCO (AP) --- Dylan Cease of the Toronto Blue Jays has pitched eight
no-hit innings against the San Francisco Giants on Wednesday.
Cease set down the first 14 San Francisco hitters before he walked Willy Adames
with two outs in the fifth. Cease also walked Drew Gilbert leading off the
sixth and Rafael Devers with one out in the seventh.
He has thrown a career-high 115 pitches, 79 for strikes.
Cease previously threw a no-hitter for the San Diego Padres at Washington on
July 25, 2024.
The All-Star right-hander, who entered Wednesday leading the American League in
strikeouts, fanned 11 batters through eight innings. The Jays led 7-0.
The Giants' two best bids for a hit came in consecutive at-bats.
With two outs in the seventh, Adames sent with a grounder up the middle. Second
baseman Ernie Clement ranged to the left side of the bag and made a nice pickup
and throw to first.
Leading off the eighth, Bryce Eldridge hit a drive to deep left-center. Center
fielder Daulton Varsho raced to make an excellent catch before running into the
wall.
Kazuma Okamoto's opposite-field grand slam off Logan Webb capped the Blue Jays'
five-run first inning.
In Toronto's 9-3 win Tuesday night, the Blue Jays retired the final 15 San
Francisco hitters.
