[2] The Rangers became the first team in history to be strikeout victims of two immaculate innings pitched in the same game on June 15, by Luis García and Phil Maton of the Houston Astros.

[6] As a result, the team owners voted unanimously to lockout the players stopping all free agency and trades.

The National League will adopt the designated hitter full-time, a draft lottery will be implemented, the postseason will expand from ten teams to twelve, and advertising patches will appear on player uniforms and helmets for the first time.

Starting pitcher Luis García hurled one in the second inning to strike out Nathaniel Lowe, Ezequiel Durán, and Brad Miller.

Also, the Rangers joined the 1979 San Francisco Giants as the only major league teams to strike out through three immaculate innings while batting.
