Pittsburgh Pirates pitcher Johan Ovedo made the history books Wednesday by pitching a so-called “immaculate inning” at the top of the fourth inning of the team’s game against the Texas Rangers Wednesday.

An immaculate inning occurs when a pitcher strikes out all three batters in an inning with no more than nine pitches total. Oviedo is the 112th pitcher in major league baseball history to accomplish the feat.

Another Pirate, Colin Holderman, did it on May 4 in the game against the Tampa Bay Rays. Despite Oviedo’s best efforts, Pittsburgh lost to the Rangers 3-2.
