Dylan Cease has thrown the second no-hitter in San Diego Padres history, leading his team to a 3-0 victory over the Washington Nationals. Cease's performance included nine strikeouts, three walks, and 114 pitches, with his fastball reaching 100 mph in the ninth inning. This marks the second time in less than a calendar year that the Nationals have been no-hit. Cease's achievement is also the second no-hitter of the 2024 MLB season. Over his last three starts, Cease has allowed only two hits in 22 innings, making him the first pitcher in MLB history to achieve such a feat over a three-game span. The Padres have now won five straight games. Notably, Luis Arraez, who broke up Cease's previous no-hit bid in 2022, was his teammate during this historic game.
