Emma Stone's Wild Night at Yankee Stadium
Okay, so you know Emma Stone, right? The Oscar-winning actress? Turns out, she's also a HUGE San Diego Padres fan. And let me tell you, she REALLY showed it off the other night at Yankee Stadium.
It was a Wednesday night game, Padres versus the Yankees – a seriously tense pitchers' duel between Dylan Cease and Max Fried. Emma was sitting right behind home plate, decked out in a brown jacket and a Padres cap. Her husband, Dave McCary, was with her, sporting a Padres bomber jacket and a Ruben Niebla jersey – total team spirit! The whole scene was pretty epic.
A Pitcher's Duel and Emma's Reaction
The game itself was a nail-biter. Cease was pitching AMAZINGLY, just mowing down Yankee batters. Then came the moment everyone's talking about: Cease struck out Aaron Judge with a wicked sweeper. Honestly, who saw that coming? Emma's reaction? Pure gold. She practically leaped out of her seat, cheering like crazy. It was infectious!
The Game: A close 4-3 win for the Yankees, despite Cease's incredible performance. Brutal.
Cease's Performance: The guy was on fire! 6.2 innings, 1 earned run, 1 hit, 2 walks, and 9 strikeouts – including that HUGE Judge K.
Stone's Presence: It wasn't just Emma; she was surrounded by fellow Padres fans, a welcome change from past games where she’s faced some boos from opposing team supporters.
Dylan Cease: Almost a No-Hitter
Let's talk about Dylan Cease for a second. Seriously impressive stuff. He was practically throwing a no-hitter, going strong into the seventh inning against a stacked Yankee lineup. Those nine strikeouts, especially the one against Judge? Mind-blowing. Unfortunately, a forearm cramp cut his night short. Everyone's hoping it's nothing serious.
Cease's 2025 Season: He’s currently sitting at 1-2 with a 4.91 ERA, but those 48 strikeouts and 1.41 WHIP show his potential. This game just highlighted his talent.
Judge's Dominance: Aaron Judge is having a monster year, leading the AL in almost everything. Making Cease's strikeout even more impressive.
Judge vs. Cease History: Judge has historically owned Cease, making this strikeout even sweeter. It really proves Cease's growth as a pitcher.
A Night to Remember (Even in Defeat)
So, yeah, the Padres lost. But honestly, the night belonged to Emma Stone and Dylan Cease. Her enthusiasm was contagious, and his pitching was phenomenal. It was a reminder that baseball, at its best, is about more than just wins and losses; it's about the moments that make you jump out of your seat. And that's exactly what happened here. It’s a night neither Emma nor Padres fans are likely to forget. Cease's next start is May 13th against the Angels at Petco Park – we'll be watching!
