Cincinnati Reds pitcher Nick Martinez fell short of notching his place in Reds history by losing no-hit bid in ninth.

Nick Martinez was three outs away from becoming the 18th pitcher in Reds franchise history to toss a no-hitter, and first baseman Spencer Steer was one swing away from becoming the second Reds player to homer four times in a game. But, both Martinez and Steer fell short.

Nick Martinez took a no-hit bid into the ninth inning before allowing pinch-hitter Elias Díaz's double and Spencer Steer hit three home runs, leading the Reds over the Padres 8-1 on Friday night.
