The Atlanta Braves were one out away from ending their 30-year no-hitter drought Saturday at Citi Field. Then J.D. Martinez stepped to the plate.
Max Fried logged the first seven no-hit innings for Atlanta, compiling five strikeouts and three walks before he was pulled with 109 pitches.
The Braves have gone without a no-hitter since Kent Mercker held the Los Angeles Dodgers hitless on April 8, 1994. It is the fourth-longest drought in the major leagues.
The Mets managed to put just one more runner in scoring position before the ninth inning, when Jimenez walked two batters in the eighth. He wiggled out of the jam by striking out Tyrone Taylor and Marte.
