San Francisco pitcher Blake Snell threw the third no-hitter of the MLB season, blanking the Reds 3-0 on Friday night. The opposing pitcher said: 'I don't think it will be his only one.'
Blake Snell was one out away from pitching the first no-hit game in his illustrious career and had to get power-hitting Reds shortstop Elly De La Cruz one more time. Cruz jumped on Snell's first pitch, a 97.8 mph fastball in the middle of the zone, ripping it hard to the gap in right-center field. Giants right fielder Mike Yastrzemski — inserted for defensive purposes in the eighth inning — ran it down, leaping to make the catch and preserve Snell's gem and 3-0 win.
Houston's Ronal Blanco no-hit Toronto on April 1, and San Diego's Dylan Cease pitched a no-hitter against Washington on July 25. 'I don't think it will be his only one,' said Reds pitcher Nick Martinez, who played with Snell in San Diego last season. 'He was commanding the ball very well. It seemed like he didn't miss a spot all night. He has some electric stuff.' Casey Schmitt and Tyler Fitzgerald homered for the Giants on Friday.
