Cease Flirts With No-No vs Yankees, Pitch Count a Concern
Blue Jays starter Dylan Cease has retired all 18 Yankees he's faced through six innings, but his pitch count may limit his ability to finish the job.
Dylan Cease has not allowed a hit through six innings against the New York Yankees. He has thrown 95 pitches to reach that point, which is a high workload relative to his season-high of 120 pitches. The elevated pitch count raises real questions about how deep into the game he can go. Toronto's bullpen may be needed earlier than usual if Cease is to be protected.
