The San Francisco Giants reacted to the team's first no-hitter since 2015.
The left hander struck out 11 while walking three on his way to the no-hitter, continuing the dominant stretch he's been on. Over his last five starts, Snell has thrown 33 innings while allowing just two earned runs, eight hits and striking out 41 batters. In his last start before Friday, the 31-year-old struckout 15 in just six innings, but one-upped it a start later. And he let everyone know.
The fact that he hadn't pitched into the ninth in his career was weighing on him, and he shared something that he told catcher Patrick Bailey after he signed. "After Webby, too, so that's two days off. The bullpen's on three day vacation. I didn't see that coming," he laughed, thinking of his relievers.
