Dylan Cease provided some excitement for afternoon baseball goers on Thursday. The San Diego Padres pitcher hurled a no-hitter, which is always a fun time.
Cease put the Washington Nationals through it on Thursday afternoon in D.C. The Padres right-hander stifled hitters all day and worked them to the point of no return.
Cease’s no-hitter is the first of the accomplished pitcher’s career.

Cease’s no-hitter is the second no-hitter of the 2024 MLB season. In April, Houston Astros hurler Ronel Blanco threw one of his own. There have been six no-hitters in MLB since the start of the 2023 season. It’s also the second no-hitter in San Diego Padres franchise history.
As you might expect, the MLB world was ready to celebrate Cease and his epic performance.

Over Dylan Cease’s last three starts, against Atlanta, Cleveland and Washington, batters are 2 for 65 against him. On the season, hitters are slashing .191/.255/.341 when facing Cease. He is as capable as anyone of making entire lineups look like replacement-level players.
