The Texas Rangers are looking to build some momentum and find a new manager heading into 2023.

Angels starter Reid Detmers became the first rookie pitcher with a no-hitter and an immaculate inning in the same season, achieving the latter against the Texas Rangers on Sunday.

Angels starter Reid Detmers became the first rookie pitcher with a no-hitter and an immaculate inning in the same season, achieving the latter against the Texas Rangers on Sunday. “That's pretty cool, I really don't know what to say,” said Detmers, who had a career-high 12 strikeouts in seven innings. The Rangers matched the 1979 San Francisco Giants as the only lineups to have three immaculate innings thrown against them in a season.

The Tampa Bay Rays came into the season with Wander Franco at shortstop, Brandon Lowe at second base and Mike Zunino behind the plate.

Astros starter Luis Garcia and reliever Phil Maton each threw an immaculate inning — nine pitches, three strikeouts — and Martín Maldonado keyed a six-run first inning that sent Houston over the Texas Rangers 9-2.
