Thanks to commenter mehmattski's sharp eyes, there is another player to add to the honor roll of Immaculate Innings, i.e. striking out the side on nine pitches. And it's the King, Felix Hernandez of Seattle.
In the fourth inning at Safeco Field, Hernandez set down on nine pitches Jeremy Hermida, Jorge Cantu, and Mike Jacobs of Florida. Even more surprisingly, the Mariners won the game, beating the Marlins 5-4.
I had seats behind home plate and was following his pitches on Pitch FX on my Nintendo DS. Thankyou Nintendo for owning the M's and providing this service for free.
But I picked that inning to get my kids milkshakes. Over by the time I got to the concession stand!
