Jays' Dylan Cease takes no-hitter into seventh in win over Yankees

Dylan Cease took a no-hitter into the seventh inning, and the visiting Toronto Blue Jays recorded a 4-3 victory over the New York Yankees on Saturday afternoon.

Cease (8-5) carried a no-hit bid for 6 2/3 innings until Jazz Chisholm Jr. singled to right field. He then allowed an RBI single to Austin Wells for New York's first run before exiting to a nice hand from Toronto fans and some of the Yankees' fans.

Cease was attempting to throw his second career no-hitter after achieving the feat July 25, 2024, in Washington for San Diego. He also was attempting to join Dave Stieb (1990) with the second no-hitter in team history.

Cease lost a no-hit bid in the seventh or beyond for the second time this season. He took a no-hitter into the ninth in San Francisco before allowing a single to current Yankees outfielder Heliot Ramos on his 118th pitch.

It was the second time Cease had a no-hitter into the seventh at Yankee Stadium. He lost a no-hit bid by allowing a homer to Cody Bellinger on May 7, 2025, while pitching for San Diego.

George Springer, rookie Charles McAdoo and pinch hitter Nathan Lukes hit RBI singles for the Blue Jays, who totaled 15 hits and won for the eighth time in 12 games. Lukes led off the eighth with a homer after Toronto reliever Spencer Miles escaped a bases-loaded jam in the seventh.

Tyler Rogers allowed a two-run homer to Luis Garcia Jr. in the eighth before striking out rookie George Lombard Jr. to end the inning. Louie Varland yielded a leadoff double to Chisholm in the ninth before striking out Trent Grisham to secure his 29th save.

New York lost starter Ryan Weathers (5-8) to left forearm discomfort. Weathers exited after throwing a pitch to Myles Straw in the fourth and the Yankees said he was undergoing further imaging.

Weathers allowed two runs on eight hits in 3 1/3 innings.

The Yankees had a five-game winning streak stopped and lost for just the fifth time in their past 14 games.
