Fantasy Impact

On a day where the Blue Jays exploded for 10 runs, Cease needed the bare minimum of offensive support. The new Jays ace took a no-hitter into the ninth inning, only to have Giants outfielder Heliot Ramos lead off the final frame with a base hit. Nonetheless, Cease struck out 11 for an AL-best 148 punchouts on the season, while throwing a season-high 118 pitches on the afternoon. The veteran will carry a tidy 2.56 ERA into the All-Star break.

Cease was purely dominant in this one, yielding just three hits and one walk to go along with nine strikeouts while notching his fifth win of the season. He threw 70 of his 102 pitches for strikes on the evening while facing just three batters over the minimum in his seven innings of work. The star right-hander has been as advertised in his first season with the Blue Jays, posting a 2.79 ERA and a massive 137:41 K:BB across 16 starts and 90 1/3 innings of work. He lines up to take on the Giants in a favorable road start in San Francisco on Wednesday.

Cease continues a solid stretch on the mound, allowing two earned runs or less in four of his last five trips to the mound. The right-hander remains one of the more stable arms in an inconsistent Blue Jays rotation to this point, carrying a 3.02 ERA and 1.24 WHIP with a 4-4 record and 13.8 K/9 ratio through 15 starts.

Blue Jays manager John Schneider elected to keep Cease in the game at over 100 pitches with two out in the sixth, but Jose Altuve notched a game-tying RBI single, taking away a potential win and a quality start from the right-hander. Cease nonetheless continued to provide plenty of fantasy value with eight more strikeouts, increasing his season-long total to 118, good for third-best in the big leagues and tops in the American League. The veteran will carry a 2.75 ERA into his next scheduled start at home on Saturday against the Rangers.
