He struck out the side on nine pitches.
It was only the 47th recorded instance of what is known as an "immaculate inning" - striking out three batters on three pitches each. By contrast, on Wednesday, Seattle's Felix Hernandez threw major league baseball's 278th no-hitter.
Sixth inning:
Adam Jones curveball 77 called - strike 1
curveball 77 swinging - strike 2
cutter 90 called - strike 3
Matt Weiters fastball 91 foul - strike 1
cutter 89 swinging - strike 2
fastball 93 called - strike 3
Chris Davis fastball 92 foul - strike 1
cutter 91 foul - strike 2
splitter 86 swinging - strike 3

Very interesting.....
Looks like it is only the 17th instance in AL history.
King Felix's no-hitter was also the 21st perfect game (in the modern era), but who's counting. ;)
Very cool, wish I'd seen it. I knew they had to be rare, no idea they were that rare.
