After throwing a no-hitter on Thursday, San Diego Padres pitcher Dylan Cease said he had to lobby for his coaching staff to keep him in the game after the seventh inning.

"He [manager Mike Shildt] said, 'Nice job,' and I looked up and it was like 94 pitches and I just said I feel great," Cease said. "If we get through the next one at like 105, I've thrown 113 pitches this year. Thankfully they let me talk him into it, and here we are."
