WASHINGTON (AP) — Dylan Cease pitched the second no-hitter in San Diego Padres history, a 3-0 win over the Washington Nationals on Thursday that completed a three-game sweep.

After falling one out short of a no-hitter two years ago when he gave up a single to current teammate Luis Arráez, Cease accomplished the feat when he retired CJ Abrams on a game-ending flyout to right.

Cease (10-8) struck out nine and walked three in his third complete game in 145 starts. He threw a career-high 114 pitches.

Joe Musgrove pitched the Padres’ first no-hitter against Texas on April 9, 2021.
