Blake Snell Throws No-Hitter Against Reds

Blake Snell achieved a significant milestone by throwing the first no-hitter of his career while leading the San Francisco Giants to a 3-0 victory over the Cincinnati Reds. The reigning Cy Young Award winner struck out 11 batters and walked three, completing the game with 114 pitches, 78 of which were strikes. This performance marked the 18th no-hitter in Giants franchise history and the first since 2015. Snell expressed disbelief at his accomplishment, noting that he had never even pitched into the ninth inning before this game. The no-hitter was the third recorded in Major League Baseball this season, following similar performances by Ronal Blanco and Dylan Cease. Snell's achievement has drawn attention not just for the no-hitter itself but also as he becomes one of only 22 pitchers to have multiple Cy Young Awards.
