Dylan Cease Chased Early Tuesday Night
5 months agoSan Diego Padres starting pitcher Dylan Cease (7-7) was chased early Tuesday night, picking up the loss after allowing six earned runs in 3 2/3 innings on eight hits and two walks with five strikeouts in a 7-0 loss to the Texas Rangers. Cease gave up two home runs to Nathaniel Lowe in his short outing while being tagged for at least one run in all four innings that he pitched. It's been an ugly stretch for the 28-year-old veteran. After finishing June with a 4.94 ERA, Cease increased his season ERA to 4.26 after starting the year off with a 2.62 ERA at the end of April. It looked like a promising beginning for Cease in his first year with his new team. Hopefully, he can get back to the feel he had on the mound in April because he's too talented to be on waiver wires, but at the same time, he's also been hurting fantasy managers everywhere this summer. Look for him to get back on track against the Diamondbacks this weekend.
