Major League Baseball typically has games exactly where both teams score significantly less than 10 runs. Sometimes, 1 team will go on an offensive tear and score double digits. Rarely do both teams have sufficient prowess in one game to plate much more than 10 runners in a game.
Here's a look at the highest scoring games in Major League Baseball since 1900.
Philadelphia Phillies at Chicago Cubs, 1922
When the Philadelphia Phillies moved to Chicago to take on Cubs Aug. 25, 1922, it was a typical day like any other on the schedule. The teams were going in opposite directions at this point in their seasons. The Cubs had been 14 games over .500 whilst the Phillies were a woeful 40-72-1. The very first game of a 3 game set would see both teams knock each other around.
The final score was 26-23 in favor of Chicago, the highest scoring game in MLB history. The teams combined for 49 runs on just 51 hits. Amazingly, the Phillies employed only two pitchers the entire game. The large innings had been the bottom of the second when the Cubs scored 10 runs and then the fourth when they scored 14 far more. Not surprisingly, Chicago almost lost the game as they gave up 14 runs over the final two innings of play.
Chicago White Sox at Kansas City Athletics, 1955
The Kansas City Athletics' 1955 campaign began out having a victory over the Detroit Tigers. It would speedily get significantly, significantly worse from there. Just nine games into the season, the Athletics could be on the wrong end of one of the highest-scoring games in the big leagues. Chicago destroyed the A's 29-6 . Right after the very first inning, the White Sox were ahead 4-3 until a seven-run explosion inside the top of the second chased starter Bob Shantz. Ironically, both teams wound up with the very same amount of hits as they did runs. Not a single A's pitcher lasted far more than 3 innings.
St. Louis at Philadelphia, 1929
The Philadelphia Phillies hosted the St. Louis Cardinals just following Independence Day in 1929. The Cards had been fighting to stay above .500 whilst the Phillies had been 10 games below that mark. The game was over nearly before it started. The first two pitchers for the Phillies in no way recorded an out in the game as St. Louis scored 10 runs in their first at-bat. The Cardinals would go on to pound the Phils 28-6 as they added another 10 runs inside the fifth. Philadelphia would get 17 hits but plate only 6 runners.
Brooklyn Dodgers at New York Giants, 1944
The season had barely begun in wartime New York City when bitter rivals the Brooklyn Dodgers and New York Giants met at the Polo Grounds. Phil Weintraub was the large player in the game as he had 11 RBI for the Giants en route to a 26-8 thumping of the Dodgers April 30, 1944.
Texas Rangers at Baltimore Orioles, 2007
The most modern thumping within the Key Leagues came when the Texas Rangers demolished the Baltimore Orioles 30-3. The Orioles truly had a 3-0 lead soon after 3 innings until Texas scored five runs inside the fourth. The Rangers would add nine runs in the sixth, 10 in eighth and six within the ninth for the final tally. Two players for Texas had seven RBI each. This game marked the very first time ever a Significant League team scored 30 runs or a lot more in a game given that the Globe Series began in 1903.
There's no mercy rule in pro baseball.
