Among the rarer individual feats in baseball is throwing an immaculate inning — where a pitcher strikes out all three batters they face on the minimum of nine pitches.
On Wednesday against the Rangers (+1.5), two Astros pitchers, Luis Garcia and Phil Maton, managed to do it in the same game against the same exact batters.
Let’s take it to the top of the second inning, with Houston leading 6-1 and the starter, Garcia, slated to face the Rangers’ Nathaniel Lowe, Ezequiel Duran, and Brad Miller.
