Nick Martinez takes no-hitter into ninth as Reds beat Padres
June 28 - Nick Martinez carried a no-hit bid into the ninth inning and Spencer Steer homered in each of his first three at-bats to lift the host Cincinnati Reds to an 8-1 victory over the San Diego Padres on Friday. After allowing a two-out walk to Jackson Merrill in the first, Martinez (5-8) retired the next 22 batters before issuing a free pass to Trenton Brooks leading off the ninth. Elias Diaz ended the no-hit bid with a double into the left-center field gap, bringing a close to Martinez's night after a career high-tying 112 pitches. Taylor Rogers entered the game and yielded two walks -- including one to Bryce Johnson with the bases loaded for a run that was charged to Martinez. Rogers, however, struck out two batters in one inning to send the Reds to their fourth win in the last five games. Martinez, who allowed one run on one hit with six strikeouts, was attempting to record Cincinnati's first no-hitter since Wade Miley accomplished the feat against the Cleveland Guardians on May 7, 2021. Martinez, a 34-year-old veteran, was back to a starting role after making his prior two appearances in relief. In his four starts prior to his brief bullpen stint, he went 1-3 with an 8.35 ERA. Cincinnati scratched for a pair of runs in the first inning before Steer flexed his muscles to put the game out of reach. Steer deposited a 2-2 fastball from Dylan Cease (3-7) over the wall in right-center in the second and led off the fourth by sending a 1-0 slider over the wall in left-center. Austin Hays, making his return from the 10-day injured list due to a left foot contusion, ripped an RBI double and scored a run in the fifth before Steer lined a 1-1 fastball from Yuki Matsui into the left-field seats. The multi-homer performance was the second for Steer, who went deep twice in the Reds' 6-1 win over the St. Louis Cardinals on Aug. 12, 2024. He has nine homers this season. Gavin Lux had an RBI single, Matt McLain scored on a passed ball and Elly De La Cruz had two hits for the Reds. Cease permitted four runs (three earned) on five hits in four innings. TJ Friedl walked, advanced to third on an error by right fielder Fernando Tatis Jr. and scored on a groundout to open the scoring in the first. McLain scored on a passed ball by catcher Martin Maldonado to stake Cincinnati to a 2-0 lead. --Field Level Media

Reds RHP Nick Martinez has no-hitter through 6 innings against the Padres
CINCINNATI (AP) — Cincinnati Reds right-hander Nick Martinez has a no-hitter through six innings of Friday night's game against the San Diego Padres. The 34-year-old Martinez has walked one and struck out three. He has thrown 81 pitches thru six innings, 54 for strikes. Martinez's season high for pitches is 102 and his career high is 112. He has never pitched a complete game in the major leagues. The Reds are leading 8-0. Cincinnati's Spencer Steer has homered three times for the first time in his career. The closest the Padres have come to a hit was in the fifth inning, but Will Benson made a sliding catch on a line drive by Gavin Sheets. Martinez's last two appearances came in relief, in which he tossed a combined three shutout innings. San Diego has been no-hit 11 times in franchise history. The last no-hitter thrown against the Padres came on Aug. 14, 2001, when Diamondbacks left-hander Tyler Gilbert held them hitless in his first MLB start. Martinez is trying to record the 18th no-hitter by a Reds pitcher and the first since Wade Miley on May 7, 2021, in a 3-0 win at Cleveland. There have been three no-hitters thrown at Great American Ball Park since it opened in 2003 by Reds right-hander Homer Bailey in 2013, Jake Arrietta of the Cubs in 2016, and the Giants' Blake Snell last season. ___ AP MLB:
