CINCINNATI -- Reds reliever Drew Storen knows he can never throw a nine-inning perfect game. So he was more than satisfied with the feat he accomplished during the ninth inning of Tuesday's 9-3 win over the Orioles. Storen struck out all three batters using the minimum nine pitches, known as an immaculate inning.
"Honestly, after the second hitter I knew I had the possibility to do it," Storen said on Wednesday. "It's something that as a bullpen guy you kind of aim for."
The last time the feat happened in the Major Leagues was July 4, 2016, when the Pirates' Juan Nicasio did it against the Cardinals.
