Story summary

John Schneider kept Dylan Cease in the game despite a pitch count to give him a chance at a no-hitter.
Cease recorded 11 strikeouts, carried a no-hit bid into the ninth before Heliot Ramos singled, helped Toronto win 10–0, and effort was preserved by Daulton Varsho’s catch in the eighth.
Schneider said he lets players attempt no-hitters because he loves baseball and will adjust later, noting Cease can rest.
