The Cincinnati Reds beat the San Diego Padres 8-1 on Friday night at Great American Ball Park behind eight strong innings from Nick Martinez and three home runs by Spencer Steer.

Martinez took a no-hitter into the ninth inning, but gave up a double to the second batter he faced in the inning.

He gave up just one run on one hit in eight-plus innings. He walked two and struck out six.

"Just happy we won," Martinez said. "Obviously, they are a good team. They're right in front of us in the playoff race. The boys came out banging."

Spencer Steer hit three home runs, becoming the first Cincinnati Red to hit three home runs in a game since Jesse Winker did so in 2021.

"When you hit a ball the other way with authority, you're doing something right," Reds manager Terry Francona said.
