Open Extended ReactionsCINCINNATI -- The Reds were on the verge of making history twice Friday night against the San Diego Padres. Martinez (5-8) didn't allow a hit until pinch-hitter Elias Diaz doubled off the left-center field wall in the ninth. It was the longest no-hit bid against the Padres since Arizona's Tyler Gilbert completed the feat on Aug. 14, 2021. Martinez came within three outs of the first no-hitter by a Reds pitcher since Wade Miley on May 7, 2021, in a 3-0 win at Cleveland. "That would have been one hell of a night," Reds catcher Tyler Stephenson said.
