NEW YORK (AP) --- Dylan Cease carried a no-hitter into the seventh inning and
Nathan Lukes' homer in the eighth inning was the difference as the Toronto Blue
Jays beat the New York Yankees 4-3 on Saturday.
Cease's bid for his second career no-hitter and the second in Toronto history
ended with two outs in the seventh on a single to right field by Jazz Chisholm
Jr. on his 106th pitch. Cease allowed an RBI single to Austin Wells that cut
Toronto's lead to 3-1 before being replaced by Spencer Miles.
Cease allowed two hits in 6 2/3 innings. The right-hander tied a season-high
with five walks and struck out eight.
Cease threw 60 of 111 pitches for strikes. It was the second time this season
Cease had a deep no-hit bid and second time he lost a no-hitter at Yankee
Stadium.
Cease lost a no-hitter in the ninth inning July 8 at San Francisco and his bid
for another on May 7, 2025, with San Diego at Yankee Stadium.
Miles hit Jos Caballero with a pitch to load the bases before retiring Trent
Grisham on a ground ball to first baseman Vladimir Guerrero Jr. Tyler Rogers
allowed a two-run homer to Luis Garca Jr. in the eighth and Louie Varland
struck out Grisham with a runner on third for his 29th save in 30 chances.
Toronto finished with 15 hits and scored its first three runs RBI singles by
George Springer, rookie Charles McAdoo and Lukes as a pinch hitter. Lukes added
his eighth homer of the season in the eighth. Guerrero had two hits in his
return from the seven-day concussion list.
New York starter Ryan Weathers (5-8) allowed two runs and eight hits in 3 1/3
innings before leaving with left forearm discomfort. The Yankees said the
left-hander was going for further imaging.
