Summary
Dylan Cease came oh-so-close to throwing a no-hitter for the Toronto Blue Jays, striking out 11 and walking just 3 through 8 innings before a ninth-inning single dashed his bid. It’s a rare feat — the Jays have only one no-hitter in their entire history, Dave Stieb’s legendary 1990 masterpiece. Veteran writer Larry Millson recalls how even Stieb, pitching during Toronto’s lean years, seemed destined to pull it off — but luck can be fickle. Cease joins a long list of Blue Jays near-misses, including Bowden Francis and Halladay. If he’d pulled it off this time, he’d join an elite club — Nolan Ryan, Max Scherzer, and others — with multiple no-hitters.
