NEW YORK (AP) — Toronto Blue Jays ace Dylan Cease lost a no-hit bid with two outs in the seventh inning against the New York Yankees on Saturday when he allowed a clean single to Jazz Chisholm Jr.

On his 106th pitch, Cease gave up a single to right field on a 97.1 mph fastball to put runners at first and second. After allowing the hit, Cease gave up an RBI single to Austin Wells and was lifted by Toronto manager John Schneider. Spencer Miles replaced Cease.

Cease stranded a runner at third in the first and second innings by getting strikeouts against Luis García Jr. and Austin Wells. He ended the fifth by getting José Caballero to line into a double play started by shortstop Ernie Clement.

Cease was attempting to pitch his second career no-hitter and the second in Toronto history. He threw a no-hitter on July 25, 2024, at Washington for San Diego, which was the Padres’ second no-hitter in team history.

Cease took a no-hit bid into the ninth inning at San Francisco on July 8 before current Yankees player Heliot Ramos hit a line drive single to center field for the Giants. Cease also carried a no-hitter for the Padres into the seventh against the Yankees on May 7, 2025, before allowing a homer to Cody Bellinger.

Toronto’s only no-hitter was thrown by Dave Stieb on Sept. 2, 1990, in Cleveland.

New York has been no-hit eight times. The last instance was a combined no-hitter by Houston’s Cristian Javier, Hector Neris and Ryan Pressly on June 25, 2022, at Yankee Stadium.
