The Cincinnati Reds made history on Friday night in their 8-1 victory over the San Diego Padres at Great American Ball Park. It was the first time in the Expansion Era that a team had a pitcher throw eight-plus no-hit innings in the same game in which a teammate hit three or more home runs.

Cincinnati Reds' Spencer Steer hit three home runs in his first three at-bats against the San Diego Padres Friday night at Great American Ball Park.

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.
