Toronto, Canada – In a game that has captured the attention of baseball fans across the continent, Blue Jays right‑hander Dylan Cease is pitching a no‑hit bid into the seventh inning against the New York Yankees. Cease has delivered 95 pitches, 52 of which are strikes, while keeping the Yankees off the scoreboard.

Key moments so far

Cease stranded a runner at third in both the first and second innings, striking out Luis García Jr. and Austin Wells to erase the threat. In the fifth inning, he induced a line‑drive double play from José Caballero, with shortstop Ernie Clement starting the sequence.

The effort marks Cease’s second career attempt at a no‑hitter and the second in Toronto history. The franchise’s only previous no‑hit game was thrown by Dave Stieb on September 2, 1990, in Cleveland.

Cease’s no‑hit history

Cease previously tossed a no‑hitter on July 25, 2024, while pitching for the San Diego Padres in Washington, a milestone that represented the Padres’ second no‑hit game. He also carried a no‑hit bid into the ninth inning at San Francisco on July 8, 2025, before Heliot Ramos broke it with a line‑drive single. Earlier, on May 7, 2025, Cease held the Yankees hitless into the seventh inning while with the Padres, before a Cody Bellinger home run ended the effort.

Yankees’ recent no‑hit record

New York has been on the receiving end of eight no‑hit games in its history. The most recent was a combined no‑hit effort by Houston’s Cristian Javier, Héctor Neris and Ryan Pressly on June 25, 2022, at Yankee Stadium.

As the game progresses, fans in both Toronto and New York are watching closely to see whether Cease can complete the rare feat. A completed no‑hitter would not only add a historic chapter to the Blue Jays’ record books but also highlight Cease’s growing reputation as one of the league’s premier pitchers.
