Dylan Cease loses no-hitter as Heliot Ramos breaks up Blue Jays' 10-0 win

Toronto starter Dylan Cease carried a no‑hit bid into the ninth inning of a July 8 game at Oracle Park, throwing a career‑high 118 pitches (81 strikes) and striking out 11 batters, keeping his American League‑leading total at 148 for the season. With three outs away from the first solo no‑hitter for the Blue Jays in 36 years, Heliot Ramos lined a single to center to end the bid. Cease was pulled and received a standing ovation from the San Francisco crowd.

The Blue Jays still prevailed 10‑0. Kazuma Okamoto capped a five‑run first inning with a grand slam, and Vladimir Guerrero Jr. and George Springer added solo homers in the ninth. Defensive highlights included a leaping catch by center fielder Daulton Varsho and a key play by second baseman Ernie Clement. Manager John Schneider allowed Cease to stay in the game despite pitch‑count concerns; the pitcher later said he was willing to throw up to 130 pitches. The performance came months after Cease’s 2024 no‑hit outing for the San Diego Padres and follows a viral selfie‑mistake moment after the game.
