Blake Snell had four starts in July and ran out a nice looking line: 24 IP, 8 H. 2 R, 5 W, 30 K. The Giants won three of those games. Tonight against the Reds he surpassed all of that with a no-hitter. That's right, a complete game shutout without allowing a hit. It's the third no-no in MLB this season and the 18th in Giants history. Even better: it's the first complete game of Snell's career! Obviously it's also his first no-hitter and his first shutout. In fact he had never gone eight full frames--7-2/3 IP was his career high.
Snell says NO!
