Episode Details

Dylan Cease turned in a historic pitching performance, shutting down the hot-streaking Boston Red Sox with a one-hit, 12-strikeout shutout, ending their 17-game win streak. The Blue Jays’ ace, who nearly tossed a no-hitter into the sixth inning, dropped his ERA to 2.46 and leads MLB in strikeouts with 167—on pace for his sixth straight 200-strikeout season. The game’s tension peaked when a potential homer by Red Sox catcher Connor Wong was ruled foul after a replay challenge, keeping Cease’s perfect game bid alive. It’s a reminder that even the hottest teams can be stopped cold by a pitcher having an absolutely lights-out day.
