Dylan Cease is the first visiting pitcher to throw a complete game, one-hit shutout at Fenway since King Felix in 2007. His 12 Ks in such an outing are tied for second most ever by a visitor in a one-hit shutout at Fenway, surpassed only by Mussina (13 Ks) in 2001. Incredible outing. Jays win, 6-0.
