Cincinnati Reds<\/a> right-hander Nick Martinez<\/a> had a no-hitter through eight innings of Friday night’s game against the San Diego Padres,<\/a> but lost it in the bottom of the ninth. After walking Trenton Brooks<\/a> to open up the frame, pinch-hitter Elias Diaz<\/a> doubled off the center-field fence to end Martinez’s no-hit bid.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Following Diaz’s hit, Martinez was relieved from the game by Taylor Rogers<\/a>. The 34-year-old Martinez walked two and struck out six over eight innings of one-hit baseball. He threw 112 pitches, matching a career-high, 75 of which were strikes.<\/p>\n

Martinez’s previous season high for pitches was 102. He still has never pitched a complete game in the major leagues.<\/p>\n

Cincinnati’s Spencer Steer<\/a> homered three times for the first time in his career.<\/p>\n

Martinez\u2019s last two appearances came in relief, in which he tossed a combined three shutout innings.<\/p>\n

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<\/a> left-hander Tyler Gilbert held them hitless in his first MLB<\/a> start.<\/p>\n

Martinez was close to recording the 18th no-hitter by a Reds pitcher, and the first since Wade Miley<\/a> on May 7, 2021, in a 3-0 win at Cleveland.<\/p>\n

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<\/a> in 2016, and the Giants<\/a>\u2019 Blake Snell last season.<\/p>\n
