Dylan Cease completed a no-hitter in the San Diego Padres' 3–0 win over the Washington Nationals on Thursday, throwing 114 pitches (71 strikes) while striking out nine and allowing three walks.
After the seventh inning, manager Mike Shildt had a brief conversation with Cease that looked like he may take him out, only for Cease to come back in for the eighth inning just minutes later. After the game, Cease detailed to the Padres broadcast team what occured in that dugout conversation.
