Nationals starter Max Scherzer delivered an immaculate inning on Tuesday night against the Rays.
In the top of the sixth inning, Scherzer struck out Johnny Field, Christian Arroyo and Daniel Robertson with only nine pitches. Five of those pitches were four-seam fastballs at an average of 95.2 mph. Scherzer also tossed two sliders and and two changeups.
Scherzer also pitched an immaculate inning last season in May against the Phillies. He began that game dealing with a blister on one of his fingers and then was drilled in his left knee by a line drive that came off of Michael Saunders's bat in the fourth inning.
