Cincinnati Reds' Spencer Steer hit three home runs in his first three at-bats against the San Diego Padres Friday night at Great American Ball Park.

Nick Martinez was three outs away from becoming the 18th pitcher in Reds franchise history to toss a no-hitter, and first baseman Spencer Steer was one swing away from becoming the second Reds player to homer four times in a game. But, both Martinez and Steer fell short.

In the fifth inning of Friday's game against the San Diego Padres, Reds infielder/outfielder Spencer Steer hit his third home run of the game. Steer is the first Cincinnati Red to hit three home runs in a game since Jesse Winker accomplished it in 2021.
