Astros Become 1st Team in MLB History to Throw 2 Immaculate Innings in Same Game
The Houston Astros became the first team to throw two immaculate innings in the same game Wednesday en route to taking down the host Texas Rangers 9-2.
MLB reporter Sarah Langs provided the scoop:
Sarah Langs This is the first time on record there have been two immaculate innings on a single calendar date, let alone in the same game OR by the same team
Per Baseball Reference, an immaculate inning occurs "when a pitcher strikes out all three batters he faces in one inning, using the minimum possible number of pitches—nine."
Starting pitcher Luis Garcia got the job done in the second by sitting down Nathaniel Lowe, Ezequiel Duran and Brad Miller.
