Dylan Cease went into the seventh inning with a no-hit bid intact.
He left before the inning was over with the chance at history gone — and with an apparent injury.
The Padres ace hadn’t allowed a hit to the Yankees through the first 6 1/3 innings on Wednesday night before allowing a solo homer to Cody Bellinger, and though he recovered to strike out Anthony Volpe, he then exited early with a trainer.
It’s not clear what happened that led to the apparent issue.
Entering the seventh inning, the Yankees had reached base just three times — walks by Jasson Domínguez and Oswaldo Cabrera and a catcher’s interference by Jorbit Vivas.
Before the Bellinger homer, the closest thing to a hit was Austin Wells’ fly ball to the right-field wall that Fernando Tatis Jr. made a leaping catch on in the fourth inning.
Max Fried was plenty good himself, allowing just one run on five hits through seven strong innings.
