Immaculate innings: 3 strikeouts on 9 pitches

Three up, three down, with three batters struck out on three pitches each. While the “Immaculate Inning” isn’t nearly as rare as it once was — there were none from 1929-52 and eight alone in 2017 — any pitcher who can plow through a big league lineup on nine straight strikes deserves a special place in the record book.
