US EditionNick Martinez and Spencer Steer Just Miss Making History in Reds’ 8-1 Win over Padres
- On June 27, 2025, the Cincinnati Reds defeated the San Diego Padres 8-1 at Great American Ball Park while Nick Martinez nearly pitched a no-hitter and Spencer Steer hit three home runs.
- Martinez was just three outs short of pitching a no-hitter, retiring 22 batters in a row before pinch-hitter Elias Diaz ended the streak with a double in the ninth, while Steer narrowly missed joining the Reds’ exclusive club of players with four home runs in a single game.

- The Reds secured their eighth victory in 12 games with an 8-1 win over San Diego, becoming the first team since the start of the expansion era in 1961 to combine a no-hit effort through at least eight innings with a player hitting three home runs in the same game at Great American Ball Park.
