WASHINGTON (AP) — Hoping for a chance to stay in the game and pitch the second no-hitter in San Diego Padres history, Dylan Cease received some help from the man who threw the first.
Cease was at 94 pitches through seven innings when Padres manager Mike Shildt glanced at Joe Musgrove.
“Joe is like, `His stuff is pretty good,’” Shildt recalled. "Well, he’s thrown one. He knows what this looks like. We let him ride.”
Cease needed only nine pitches in the eighth and 11 in the ninth in a 3-0 victory over the Washington Nationals on Thursday that completed a three-game sweep.
