Dylan Cease came within one inning of making history Wednesday.
The Blue Jays pitcher carried a no-hitter into the ninth inning against the San Francisco Giants before Heliot Ramos ended it with a line-drive single to center field, according to ESPN. It would have been the second no-hitter of Cease's career.
Ramos's hit broke up what had been a dominant performance through eight innings. Cease had kept the Giants off the bases before the ninth, putting him on the edge of one of the rarest achievements in baseball.
The loss of the no-hit bid in the final inning placed Cease among a long list of pitchers who have come agonizingly close without finishing the job. A completed no-hitter in the ninth would have cemented the outing as one of the more memorable pitching performances of the 2026 season.
No further details on the final score or Cease's complete line were immediately available.
