Snell threw the 18th no-hitter in Giants history on Friday night.
Snell, the reigning NL Cy Young winner, threw the 18th no-hitter in Giants’ franchise history against the Cincinnati Reds at Great American Ballpark, helping lead San Francisco to a 3-0 win in the series opener.
Snell allowed just three walks and struck out the last 11 Reds during his dominant performance on the mound, capped off by a line drive out from Reds shortstop “They can’t say it anymore, you know?” Snell told reporters. “Complete game, shutout, no-hitter. Leave me alone. ‘He doesn't go into the 9th. He doesn’t go into the 8th.’ Just did it. Leave me alone."Snell’s no-no marked the third no-hitter in the MLB this season and the first by a Giant since Chris Heston’s outing against the New York Mets in 2015. After an ugly start to the season and a brief spell on the injured list, Snell is pitching to a 0.55 ERA in his last five starts.
The 31-year-old had never completed eight innings before throwing his no-hitter, but Snell recorded his first complete game in his 202nd career start—and what a game it was. Snell added that he went into the ninth inning throwing strikes because he was afraid Giants manager Bob Melvin would pull him at that point.Kristen Wong is a staff writer on the Breaking and Trending News team at Sports Illustrated.
