Rookie J.C. Escarra hit a pinch-hit walk-off sacrifice fly in the 10th inning Wednesday night as the New York Yankees earned a 4-3 victory over the visiting San Diego Padres after being no-hit for 6 1/3 innings by Dylan Cease.

Cody Bellinger homered to end Cease's bid for his second no-hitter and the third in San Diego history. Former Padre Trent Grisham then hit a pinch-hit two-run homer off Jason Adam in the eighth to tie the game after the Padres went ahead on an RBI single by Jackson Merrill and a sacrifice fly by Xander Bogaerts.

After Oswaldo Cabrera sacrificed automatic runner Jasson Dominguez to third, Escarra batted for Oswald Peraza. He fouled off two pitches before driving a 1-2 pitch off Jeremiah Estrada (1-2) to the warning track in left field to easily score Dominguez.

After delivering the winning run, Escarra was mobbed by teammates in between second and third.

Escarra's RBI gave the Yankees a second straight win after blowing a three-run lead in the eighth inning Monday.

Devin Williams (1-2) escaped a bases-loaded jam in the top half by fanning Bogaerts on a full-count changeup to set up New York's first walk-off win of the season. It was Williams' fourth scoreless appearance in five outings since being removed from the closer's role on April 27.

Cease had a no-hitter going until Bellinger hit his 83rd pitch, an 0-2 fastball, into the right field seats. Before hitting his fifth homer, Bellinger was 1-for-10 in his career off Cease.

Cease struck out nine and walked two in 6 2/3 innings before appearing to get hurt during an at-bat against Jasson Dominguez.

After Dominguez fouled off a 1-1 slider, Cease exited with a right forearm cramp.

Merrill homered in the fourth to give San Diego the lead off New York ace Max Fried, who held the Padres to five hits in seven innings and struck out eight.
