Cease struck out 11 Blue Jays in the White Sox win, and he did it all with that one pitch.
But saying his slider was “there from the beginning” is a bit of an understatement. Cease was so dialed in with that one pitch that he used it to strike out five consecutive batters to start the game. By the time his night was done, he struck out 11 Blue Jays, and he did it all with the slider.
“It feels like if I get it in the zone, I’m pretty much unhittable,” Cease said of his performance. “So, that’s kinda what I was rolling with today.” Cease nearly did hold the Blue Jays hitless, too. But in the sixth inning Lourdes Gurriel Jr. was able to beat out a slow rolling grounder to shortstop, giving Toronto its lone hit against him. According to Cease it’s not that his slider had any better “stuff” than usual on Tuesday night, it’s that he was able to command it better.
