If there was one drawback to Dylan Cease's second start of the season, he didn't get to build on his in-game endurance.
Fortunately, you can blame the weather for that one. Cease basically matched his sterling first start column for column:
Alas, he was limited to 60 pitches because he spent the afternoon pitching in a driving 40something degree rain. He didn't seem terribly bothered by it, as his fastball ran 96-99 with life. He secondary stuff had been better, but he excelled at getting back to the dugout quickly, which was probably the biggest priority in that weather.
