In a game to remember from the pitching standpoint on Wednesday, the Astros ambushed the Rangers early in the contest with a six-run first inning to leave the job on their pitchers’ hands. On the mound, Luis García and Phil Maton threw one immaculate inning apiece to make history for the first time in MLB with two immaculate innings in the same game.
The Astros’ feat has several bright spots. It’s the first time in MLB history a team has thrown two immaculate innings – even better: it was against the same hitters!!! García and Maton struck out Nathaniel Lowe, Ezequiel Durán, and Brad Miller in the second and seventh innings on nine pitches each.
