Reds pitcher Nick Martinez nearly throws first no-hitter of 2025 in 8-1 win over Padres
It was close, but MLB will have to wait a little bit longer for the first no-hitter of the 2025 season. On Friday, Cincinnati Reds pitcher Nick Martinez nearly earned that honor, throwing eight hitless innings in the Reds' 8-1 win over the San Diego Padres. But in the top of the ninth, with Martinez three outs away from making history, Padres catcher Elias Díaz hit a double to break up Martinez's no-hit bid. Even with the hit, Martinez had a career night on Friday: The 34-year-old threw six strikeouts, two walks and one hit in 112 pitches. One of those strikeouts came at the end of the eighth, as Padres second baseman Jake Cronenworth struck out swinging to end the inning. But then, in the ninth, fatigue began to creep in for Martinez, who threw a walk just before Díaz hit his double. Taylor Rogers came in to relieve Martinez, but allowed two walks to give the Padres their sole run before Rogers was able to close out the game. Advertisement However, the Reds pulled off a win thanks to three home runs from first baseman Spencer Steer, who homered in the second, fourth and fifth innings to buoy Cincinnati's seven-run win. Martinez becomes the latest pitcher to fall just short of a no-hitter this season, with a few attempts taking place this week. On Wednesday, Texas Rangers' Jacob DeGrom threw seven no-hit innings in a great win over the Baltimore Orioles, before giving up a leadoff single in the eighth. Earlier this week, Milwaukee Brewers rookie Jacob Misiorowski threw six perfect innings before exiting. If he had pulled it off, Martinez would have joined Cincinnati's long and storied history of hitless games. The Reds have recorded 15 no-hitters in the modern era; most recently, Wade Miley threw a no-no in 2021, recording one walk and eight strikeouts in nine innings.

Reds' Martinez Takes No-Hit Bid Into 9th, Steer Hits 3 Homers in 8-1 Win Over Padres
Nick Martinez took a no-hit bid into the ninth inning before allowing pinch-hitter Elias Díaz's double. Spencer Steer hit three home runs, leading the Cincinnati Reds over the San Diego Padres 8–1 on Friday night. Martinez (5–8) walked his third batter, Jackson Merrill, on a low full-count sinker, then retired 22 consecutive hitters before walking rookie Trenton Brooks starting the ninth. Díaz then drove an 0–1 changeup off the base of the wall in left-center on Martinez's 112th and final pitch, which tied his career high. A 34-year-old right-hander, Martinez struck out six as the Reds won for the fourth time in five games. He also threw 112 pitches for Texas against Boston on May 28, 2015. Taylor Rogers walked a pair of batters, forcing in a run before striking out Gavin Sheets. Coming off a pair of relief appearances, Martinez made his first start since June 19. He entered with one complete game over 118 big league starts–an eight-inning effort in a loss at the Chicago Cubs last Sept. 27. After Martinez allowed seven runs over 2 2/3 innings against Minnesota, Reds manager Terry Francona suggested Martinez make a relief appearance. Martinez threw two perfect innings at St. Louis two days later, and Martinez offered to making another bullpen outing to keep starter Brady Singer on turn. Martinez pitched a 1-2-3 innings against the Yankees two days on June 23. Steer hit solo home runs in the second and fourth innings off Dylan Cease (3–7), then a two-run drive against Yuki Matsui in a four-run fifth. Steer has nine home runs this season. Key moment: Díaz's 393-foot double came on a changeup over the middle of the strike zone. Key start: There has never been a three-homer game during a no-hitter. Up next: Reds LHP Andrew Abbott (7–1, 1.79) and Padres RHP Randy Vásquez (3–4, 3.60) start Saturday.

Judge approves $7m settlement for men suing bar over ‘ladies' night' admission fee
A judge has given preliminary approval of a $7 million settlement in a lawsuit alleging a 'ladies' night' event at a San Diego bar discriminated against men and nonbinary people. The owners of the Omnia Nightclub, which closed in 2020 in the city's lively Gaslamp Quarter, were sued in 2020 after the plaintiffs claimed the themed night violated California's civil rights law. The plaintiffs alleged that they, along with other men and nonbinary people, were made to pay full price on entry, while women were let in for free or at discounted rates at the 'ladies' night' event. The men also alleged that they were frisked by security before entering the club but women were not. The claims in the class action date back to 2015. San Diego Superior Court Judge Matthew Braner gave preliminary approval to the settlement in May and a final fairness hearing is scheduled for August 29. The agreement does not include an admission of any wrongdoing by the defendants. California 's anti-discrimination statute, the Unruh Civil Rights Act, is at the heart of the case. The law prohibits businesses, including bars and nightclubs, from discriminating against customers based on sex, race, religion, gender identity and age. Alex Maystrenko and Steve Frye, the two named plaintiffs in the suit, will each receive $25,000 for their roles as the class representatives. There could be thousands of men who are eligible for a slice of the settlement, which, depending on the final number of claimants, could be between $245 and $4,000 each. Up to 40 percent of the settlement will likely go toward legal costs. Courts in California have previously ruled that gender-based promotions at venues violate the Unruh Act. A family-run San Francisco restaurant was forced to shut down at the end of last year because of a 'ladies' night' discrimination lawsuit. Alfred Rava, a San Diego-based attorney, has brought hundreds of other 'ladies' night' suits. Rava is representing two men who decided not to join the other members of the 2020 class action. 'I and my clients hardily disapprove of businesses treating patrons or consumers differently based solely on their sex,' Rava said.
