In a dramatic turn of events at Citi Field, J.D. Martinez hit a ninth-inning home run off Raisel Iglesias to spoil the Atlanta Braves' bid for their first no-hitter since 1994. The Braves, led by pitcher Max Fried, had held the Mets hitless through 8 2/3 innings. Fried delivered a standout performance with seven no-hit innings, allowing just three walks and recording five strikeouts on 109 pitches before being pulled from the game. Despite the Braves' efforts, Martinez's homer marked the only Mets hit of the game, leading to a final score of Braves 4, Mets 1, with Max Fried earning the win and Christian Scott taking the loss.
