Dylan Cease was absolutely lights out tonight, throwing a complete game one-hitter as the Blue Jays stomped the Red Sox 6-0 at Fenway Park. Seriously, he was just phenomenal, giving Boston virtually no chance to get anything going.
Cease Was Unhittable And Had Fenway Park Silenced
What an outing from Cease! He went all nine innings, giving up just one measly hit. He walked three and racked up twelve strikeouts, looking completely dominant out there. You heard whispers that he “wasn’t throwing as hard as usual” from Dan, but who cares when you’re carving up a lineup like that? He was just amazing, keeping the Red Sox bats cold and locked down the entire game.
The Bats Woke Up Big Time, Especially In The Third
While Cease was dealing, the Blue Jays offense absolutely did its job, piling up 15 hits to Boston’s one. They hung five runs on the board in the third inning after two outs, which is just classic clutch hitting. Nathan Lukes doubled, Vlad Guerrero Jr. singled him home, and Kazuma Okamoto singled after that. Then George Springer absolutely mashed a home run, making up for a baserunning error he had earlier. He thought a soft liner from Yohendrick Piñango was gonna drop, but Ceddanne Rafaela made a solid catch and doubled him up at second. Even with that, the team found a way to score big. They added another run in the ninth when Andrés Giménez singled, Lukes doubled an out later, and Vlad singled home a run that got deflected by the pitcher. Vlad and Ernie both had three hits, with Lukes, Springer, Varsho, and Giménez each snagging two. Brandon Valenzuela, Piñango, and Myles Straw had some tough luck with 0-fors, but hey, 15 hits means everyone contributed!
Tomorrow’s another day with a 1:30 start time. Kevin Gausman (4-9, 4.91) is on the bump and he’ll be looking to bounce back after his last start against Ranger Suarez (4-3, 3.15) for the bad guys. Let’s hope the bats stay hot and Gausman finds his rhythm!
