CHICAGO—Dylan Cease struck out 12 and combined with two relievers on a one-hitter as the San Diego Padres beat the Chicago Cubs 3–0 on Wednesday.
Cease went seven innings in a triumphant return to Chicago after the White Sox traded him to San Diego in March. He allowed the Cubs’ lone hit when he deflected Yan Gomes’ third-inning comebacker and the ball ricocheted toward second baseman Xander Bogaerts, whose throw to first was late by a slim margin.
