Dylan Cease Strikes Out 11 in First Game Back From the Injured List
Toronto Blue Jays right-hander Dylan Cease looked as healthy as ever on Tuesday night in his team's 3-2 win over the visiting Philadelphia Phillies at the Rogers Centre in what was his first start back from a stay on the 15-day injured list due to a strained hamstring. Cease allowed just one earned run on three hits while walking one and striking out 11 in six innings for a no-decision. He tied a career high with 29 swings and misses, and it was the fourth time this year that he struck out double-digit batters. The fantastic first outing back lowered Cease's season ERA to 2.91. The 30-year-old has been outstanding so far in his first season in Toronto, and he has had at least seven strikeouts in each of his last six outings, dating back to May 2. Cease has turned into a must-start fantasy asset north of the border and will get a juicy matchup his next time out against the division-rival Boston Red Sox. In his first start against the BoSox on April 27, Cease took his first loss of the year, allowing four earned runs on seven hits while walking three and striking out a season-low five batters in 5 2/3 innings of work.
