Dominant Blake Snell tosses 10th no-hitter in SF Giants history to beat Reds

CINCINNATI — The scent of Champagne soaked the visitors’ clubhouse inside Great American Ballpark late Friday night, 11 glass bottles in the middle of the room signifying there had been something to celebrate.

For about a month now, any ballpark Blake Snell has stepped foot in has been on no-hitter alert until it’s not.

This time, in front of 28,075 on a muggy Friday evening after an hourlong rain delay, there was no reason to stand down. No seeing-eye singles. No mistakes to be taken advantage of.
