Right-hander spins a masterpiece as Padres remain 2 1/2 games ahead of Diamondbacks in race for NL’s top wild-card spot
Padres pitcher Dylan Cease pumps his fist as he walks off the field after the seventh inning Wednesday agaiunst the Astros. There are mementos in the Hall of Fame from Dylan Cease’s no-hitter on July 25. The Padres presented him with a giant framed collage with a copy of the sports section and the scorecard from that day. The highlight video played before every game at Petco Park features the radio call from the end of the game.
Cease allowed two hits in 8⅓ innings, and Manny Machado, Fernando Tatis Jr. and Donovan Solano made sure Cease and the Padres came out on top. Many in the sellout crowd at Petco Park gave Cease a standing ovation as he walked off the field after the top of the eighth. The fans were ecstatic after Solano’s blast. And they rose again as Cease took the mound to start the ninth and as he walked off following Bogaerts’ error on what seemed would be a game-ending double play.
Games in which a pitchers come within two outs of a complete game don’t have their own Wikipedia entry. But Cease absolutely neutered the Astros, the best-hitting team in the American League. They entered the game with a .261 average and with three of their first fur hitters batting .297 or better.
