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 Cincinnati Reds over the visiting San Diego Padres 8-1 on Friday night.

Martinez (5-8) walked his third batter, Jackson Merrill, on a low full-count sinker, then retired 22 consecutive hitters before walking rookie Trenton Brooks starting the ninth. Díaz then drove an 0-1 changeup off the base of the wall in left-center on Martinez’s 112th and final pitch, which tied his career high .

Steer hit solo homers in the second and fourth innings off Dylan Cease (3-7), then a two-run drive against Yuki Matsui in a four-run fifth.

Cardinals 5, Guardians 0: Sonny Gray allowed only one hit and struck out a season-high 11 for his first complete game since 2017 as visiting St. Louis blanked Cleveland.

Alec Burleson and Pedro Pagés homered, and Nolan Arenado had a pair of RBIs for the Cardinals, who bounced back after being shut out in their previous two games.

Nolan Jones had a base hit to right field with two outs in the fifth which prevented the Guardians’ from being no hit for the fifth time since 2021.

It is the seventh complete game of Gray’s 13-year career and also his fourth career shutout and first since 2015 when he was with the A’s.

Gray threw 89 pitches, including 66 strikes.

Yankees 3, Athletics 0: Jazz Chisholm Jr. homered on the first pitch he saw from Mitch Spence in the second inning and New York beat the Athletics at Yankee Stadium.

New York rookie starter Will Warren (5-4) survived issuing three walks in the first inning and allowed two hits in five innings.

Pirates 9, Mets 1: Mitch Keller pitched 5 1/3 innings to end his 15-start winless streak and Bryan Reynolds hit a three-run home run as Pittsburgh routed visiting New York.

Keller (2-10) allowed one run and five hits to win for the first time since his first start of the season on March 28 at Miami. It was the longest single-season winless streak in franchise history.

Juan Soto accounted for the Mets’ run with his 20th home run in the four

Angels’ Washington out for season: Los Angeles Angels manager Ron Washington will miss the rest of the season because of an unspecified medical issue, the team said Friday.

Washington, the oldest manager in the major leagues at 73, has been sidelined for the past week.

He experienced shortness of breath and appeared fatigued toward the end of a four-game series at the New York Yankees that ended on June 19. Washington flew back to Southern California, underwent a series of tests and was placed on medical leave.

Angels bench coach Ray Montgomery, who has filled in for Washington for the past week, was named interim manager. Infield coach Ryan Goins was promoted to bench coach.

Washington, a longtime coach with the A’s (1996-2006, 2015-16), is 664-611 in 10 seasons as a major league manager, eight with Texas and two with Los Angeles.

He led the Rangers to back-to-back World Series appearances in 2010 and 2011 before stepping down abruptly in September 2014.
