Removed twice in the middle of no-hit bids as a Padre, he was finally allowed to complete the task — by his former manager in San Diego, no less.
Snell was on the mound Friday to start the San Francisco Giants' game against the Cincinnati Reds. Melvin, now the Giants' manager, was in the dugout again.
The Giants' 3-0 win was not only the first complete game no-hitter of Snell's career. It was the first time he had completed nine innings in any of his 202 major league appearances.Snell got Elly De La Cruz to fly out on his 114th pitch of the game to end the ninth inning, touching off a raucous celebration at Oracle Park. The left-hander, who signed a one-year, $32 million contract with the Giants in March, allowed three walks en route to the 18th no-hitter in Giants history.
