SFGATE • • sports
Key Points:
- The San Francisco Giants suffered a 10-0 loss to the Toronto Blue Jays, falling to a season-worst 16 games under .500, in a game nearly marked by a no-hitter from Blue Jays ace Dylan Cease.
- Cease retired the first 14 Giants batters and allowed only two walks over eight innings, striking out 11, before Giants outfielder Heliot Ramos broke up the no-hitter with a single in the ninth inning.
- The Giants struggled offensively and defensively, committing three errors and managing only one hit, while Toronto took an early 5-0 lead highlighted by a grand slam from Kazuma Okamoto.
- Despite the loss and poor season performance, Ramos’ bat flip after his lone hit drew mixed reactions given the team's large deficit and overall struggles.
- Cease received a standing ovation after being pulled in the ninth, and ex-Giants pitcher Tyler Rogers closed out the game, preventing the no-hitter but cementing the Giants' difficult season.
