Blake Snell finished off the Cincinnati Reds for his first career no-hitter.

The 31-year-old Snell, who is in his first season with the Giants, struck out 11 and walked three as the Giants built a 3-0 lead through eight innings. Snell became the first member of the Giants to throw a no-hitter since Chris Heston accomplished the feat back in 2015. It marks the 18th no-hitter in Giants history.

Snell entered Friday night’s contest with an 0-3 record with a 5.10 ERA. He had never pitched into the ninth inning of a game in his career, which includes an All-Star selection and two Cy Young Awards, his second of which came last season with the San Diego Padres.

Snell became the third MLB player to throw a no-hitter this season, joining Dylan Cease and Ronel Blanco.
