Two different pitchers, but the same 3 batters.
Gotta figure that’s never happened before

Astros threw two immaculate innings in the same game today

Yep.
Nine pitches, three strikeouts. Houston pitchers had two immaculate innings against the Texas Rangers.
Houston starter Luis Garcia retired the side in the second inning when he struck out Nathaniel Lowe, Ezequiel Duran and Brad Miller on nine consecutive pitches. Those were among nine strikeouts for the right-hander in his six innings.
When Phil Maton took over for Garcia on the mound to start the seventh inning, the reliever had his own immaculate inning — against the same three hitters. Maton struck out Lowe, Duran and Miller on nine pitches.
Astros and Rangers officials said it was the first time in MLB history to have two nine-pitch, three-strikeout innings in the same game — either both by one team, or each team recording one.

Still doesn't beat Bugs Bunny striking out the side on one pitch.
