lone hit was yielded to the final batter, Kike Hernandez. Thus, García tied the club record for the longest number of innings pitched without allowing a hit in postseason history, equaling Brandon Backe's performance in the 2004 NLDS. Garcia's start was also the second-longest no-hit bid by a rookie (after Michael Wacha in 2013) and the most by an AL rookie pitcher. That night, the Astros prevailed 5–0 to defeat the Red Sox and win the American League pennant. Garcia started Game 3 of the World Series. He went innings while allowing one run on three hits, four walks, and six strikeouts in a 2–0 loss to the Atlanta Braves; he is the fifth pitcher to have that many strikeouts with one earned run allowed in four innings or less and first since Rich Hill. 2022 On May 6, 2022, García matched a career-high with nine strikeouts versus the Detroit Tigers, going seven innings, allowing two hits, one earned run, and earning the win in a 3–2 final score. He retired the final 15 batters faced and, at one point, five consecutive via strikeout. On May 29, García retired the first 13 Seattle Mariners batters until a walk to Eugenio Suárez and did not allow the first hit until Luis Torrens singled leading off the sixth inning as the Astros eventually won, 2–1. On June 15, García authored an immaculate inning in the second inning versus the Texas Rangers at Globe Life Field, striking out Nathaniel Lowe, Ezequiel Durán, and Brad Miller. Five innings later, teammate Phil Maton struck out the same trio of batters en route to his own immaculate inning, making this the first occasion in the major leagues of two immaculate innings pitched both in the same game and on the same date. García's immaculate inning was the eighth in team history. On June 30, he led a 2–1 win over the New York Yankees with one run allowed over innings, three hits and six strikeouts. On July 12, García allowed one hit in six scoreless innings to the Los Angeles Angels, retiring the final 13 batters while striking out seven. The one hit allowed was a career low through his first 45 major league starts. His sixth quality start of the season, it was the 17th consecutive produced on the road by Houston pitching. Per an AT&T SportsNet broadcast, that extended the longest streak in franchise
