Dellin Betances Posts 6th Immaculate Inning in New York Yankees History

New York Yankees reliever Dellin Betances entered Wednesday's game against the Detroit Tigers during the eighth inning with the team trailing 2-0.

Betances proceeded to fire nine strikes en route to three strikeouts, becoming just the sixth player in franchise history to throw an immaculate inning, per ESPN Stats & Info. In the process, he struck out the likes of Jim Adduci, Justin Upton and Miguel Cabrera to accomplish the feat.
