 Next up is Atlanta, 28 from last season, then the 2019 Yankees who rattled off 31 straight games with a home run. At third, Sox reliever Michael Kopech threw an immaculate inning to end this game. An immaculate inning is when a pitcher strikes out the side needing the minimum nine pitches required to do so. He is just the second pitcher ever to throw an immaculate inning against the Twins. The only other time was Chris Sale for the Boston Red Sox on August 26th of 2021.
