Nick Martinez Stuns Fans with Near No-Hitter Thriller in Reds’ Dominant Victory 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 DÃaz 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.
