Diamondbacks reliever Justin Martinez recorded an immaculate inning against the Texas Rangers, striking out Wyatt Langford, Evan Carter and Jake Burger on nine pitches in the sixth inning. His fastball reached 102.6 mph, and the feat marked the fifth immaculate inning in Diamondbacks history and the fourth in the majors this season. Martinez has not allowed an earned run in 7 2/3 innings since returning from the injured list after recovering from his second Tommy John surgery.

Fifth immaculate inning in D-backs history puts Martinez in good company. His fastball command is clearly rounding back into form.
Striking out Langford, Carter and Burger on nine pitches is a sharp way to return. The Rangers lineup did not stand a chance in that frame.
Martinez hitting 102 mph right after Tommy John surgery shows real resilience. That kind of velocity makes an immaculate inning look almost routine.
