I saw it stay up. Just screaming and yelling. That was awesome."Cease struck out nine and walked three, throwing a career-high 114 pitches for his third complete game in 145 starts.
"He said nice job. And I looked up and it was like 94 pitches. I just said 'I feel great.' And if we get through the next one in like 105. I've thrown 113 this year," Cease recalled."Thankfully, they let me talk him into it. And then, here we are."Dylan Cease threw a career-high 114 pitches -- 60 sliders, 44 fastballs averaging 98.
