Unbelievable Runs and Rivalries: Dive into MLB’s Most Jaw-Dropping High-Scoring Showdowns!

Most Runs Scored by One Team (Pre-1901)

Chicago Colts 36, Louisville Colonels 7; June 29, 1897 (National League)

Of course, technically the MLB record belongs to the Chicago Colts (now the Chicago Cubs). Chicago scored in every inning of the game and got six hits and a home run out of shortstop Barry McCormick. You remember him, right? 

Most Total Runs Scored in a Game

Chicago Cubs 26, Philadelphia Phillies 23; Aug. 25, 1922

We’ve got to go back nearly 100 years to get to the highest-scoring MLB game of all time. Strangely enough, the Cubbies only scored in four innings and went for just one run in two of them. The second and fourth innings, though, were offensive explosions. Chicago scored 10 runs in its second trip to the plate and went for 14 runs two innings later. Philadelphia only threw two pitchers that day, with Jimmy Ring surrendering 16 runs and reliever Lefty Weinert giving up 10 (only 14 runs were earned). The Cubs led 26-9 after seven and the Phillies came relatively close to an epic comeback victory after scoring eight in the eight and six in the ninth to make this look more like an NFL final.
