Pregame analysis and predictions of the San Diego Padres vs. Cincinnati Reds MLB game to be played on June 28, 2025 on ESPN.

Former San Diego Padres pitcher Nick Martinez allowed a walk to Jackson Merrill in the top of the first inning and a walk to Trenton Brooks in the top of the ninth inning. Those were his only blemishes until Elias Diaz provided a pinch-hit double in the top of the ninth inning. It put runners at second and third and ended the night for Martinez.

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.
