Orioles pitcher Brandon Young throws an immaculate inning

An immaculate inning is when a pitcher throws nine pitches and gets three strikeouts. It’s only been done 116 times. It is rarer than a no-hitter (326 times).

Update – Andrew Kittredge threw one on August 6, 2025.

The ball from Brandon Young's immaculate inning was caught by a fan who then gave it to 11-year-old Colin Brennan from Fallston.Colin got a Ryan O'Hearn autographed bat. Young got the ball. The fan got a drink from Colin's dad, Mark. Wins all around.www.mlb.com/orioles/news…

Andrew Kittredge just threw an immaculate inning against the Reds.All three strikeouts were swinging, putting away Austin Hayes, Gavin Lux and Tyler Stephenson.It's the first immaculate inning by a Cubs pitcher since Hayden Wesneski on Sept. 22, 2022 in Pittsburgh.

Will global warming increase the use of domed stadiums?

I live in Baltimore. I heard on the radio that the heat index at the start of tonight’s Orioles game will be 111. That doesn’t sound safe for players or fans.

I think the next Orioles stadium will be domed as a response to the heat and located in the suburbs to appease the part of their fan base (that pays attention to right-wing media) that thinks downtown is unsafe. They would also find more room in the suburbs to build around the stadium.

I have posted on this subject before:
