On a humid, 83-degree day in the nation's capital, Dylan Cease was sweating through his San Diego Padres uniform by the ninth inning, the brown pinstriped jersey now more of a dark gray. He had yet to allow a hit and had thrown 103 pitches -- a low enough total, even in today's game, to get a shot at completing the no-hitter.
Ildemaro Vargas battled for eight pitches, fouling off five pitches, before finally grounding out to second base. Jacob Young swung at a first-pitch slider and grounded out routinely to shortstop.
