Dylan Cease Throws No-Hitter for Padres

Dylan Cease threw the second no-hitter in San Diego Padres history, leading his team to a 3-0 victory over the Washington Nationals. This marks the second no-hitter of the 2024 MLB season. The Padres' victory over the Nationals also marked their fifth straight win, moving them into the third NL Wild Card spot. Cease, who was traded to the Padres from the Chicago White Sox before the season, has been consistently strong in his recent starts. Key defensive plays, including a crucial catch by Jackson Merrill, helped preserve Cease's no-hitter. The Padres had previously waited 53 years for their first no-hitter, achieved by Joe Musgrove in 2021.
