It's
'Crazy Eights' time for
The Carmine Hose! Last night,
Rick Porcello pitched
the 8th "immaculate inning" in MLB so far in 2017 (during Boston's
8-2 victory for its
8th straight win). The former
Cy Young winner fanned the following Rays on
nine straight pitches:
Trevor Plouffe,
Wilson Ramos and
Mallex Smith. Earlier this season, Boston closer
Craig Kimbrel tossed an immaculate inning against the Milwaukee Brewers—
making the Red Sox the only team in baseball to have achieved the feat twice in 2017.
