Cease dominant in Padres victory over Guardians

Dylan Cease allowed one hit and struck out 10 in seven innings, Jake Cronenworth homered and drove in three runs and the San Diego Padres beat the AL Central-leading Cleveland Guardians 7-0 on Saturday night. Jeremiah Estrada worked a 1-2-3 eighth and Yuki Matsui pitched a spotless ninth, completing the combined one-hitter as San Diego moved back above .500 at 51-50. “This is a great bounce back and that's exactly what we wanted,” Cronenworth said. Cease (9-8) only allowed two baserunners — Tyler Freeman tripled in the third and Andrés Giménez walked in the fifth — in extending his scoreless inning streak to 13.
