BOSTON — For the second time in a month, Dylan Cease dared to join Dave Stieb in Blue Jays no-hit history. He allowed his first hit in the sixth inning of Toronto’s 6-0 win over the Boston Red Sox on Saturday, instead settling for a complete-game one-hitter.Stieb still sits alone in Jays franchise history as the only starter to deliver a no-hitter, but on Saturday, Cease became the first Jay since Shaun Marcum in 2010 to throw a one-hitter. While much has been a struggle for the Jays this year, Cease’s first season in Toronto has been nothing but brilliance. He already earned his first All-Star appearance, started the game for the American League and is now building a compelling case for a Cy Young award.“Dylan is kind of a throwback pitcher,” manager John Schneider said, “where he’s durable and kind of thrives for that kind of stuff. Yeah, you don’t you don’t see it very much.”It certainly didn’t look like Cease would go deep in the opening pitches of Saturday’s start. If anything, it wasn’t clear he’d even come back out for the second frame. The righty, after sitting at 97.6 mph on his fastball all year, averaged just 93.7 mph in the first. His body was cranky, Cease said, but loosened up over time.
