San Diego Padres ace Dylan Cease no-hit the Washington Nationals in a 3-0 win on Thursday.
Cease struck out nine Nationals and walked three, throwing 114 total pitches. The feat came behind an early Padres offensive effort, when Ha-Seong Kim hit a three-run RBI single in the first inning. It was the Padres’ fifth consecutive win, completing a sweep of the Nationals.
This is the second no-hitter so far this season, and the second in Padres history (Joe Musgrove threw the first in 2021).
A few weeks before this season started, Cease was traded to the Padres by the Chicago White Sox. Going into Thursday’s matchup, Cease had a 9-8 record with a 3.59 ERA in 128 innings this season for a San Diego team that’s 7 1/2 games back of the Dodgers in the NL West.
