Nick Martinez Stuns Fans with Near No-Hitter Thriller in Reds’ Dominant Victory Over Padres
Despite that pesky double, Martinez delivered a career-defining performance: six strikeouts, a couple of walks, and 112 pitches thrown with gritty determination. The suspense peaked at the eighth inning’s close when Jake Cronenworth swung and missed, seemingly sealing the no-hit fate. But by the ninth, fatigue crept in—Martinez walked a batter, suffered that crushing double, and then left the mound to reliever Taylor Rogers, who managed to hold the line after allowing a couple of walks. Meanwhile, first baseman Spencer Steer kept the fireworks going with three towering homers, sparking a hefty seven-run victory for Cincinnati.
