Unbelievable Runs and Rivalries: Dive into MLB’s Most Jaw-Dropping High-Scoring Showdowns!
The only other regular-season game in which both MLB teams scored more than 20 runs came between the same two teams and was played in the same ballpark.
Philadelphia Phillies 23, Chicago Cubs 22, 10 innings; May 17, 1979
We detailed the whole history of this Phillies-Cubs matchup earlier, but we’ll give you the summary here. The Cubs never led in the baseball game but kept it close the whole way. They fought back from 7-0, 17-6 and 21-9 deficits to send the game to extras before losing 23-22 in 10 innings. Dave Kingman smacked three homers for the Cubs, while perennial All-Star Mike Schmidt hit two for the Phillies – including the game-winner in the 10th. In all, there were 45 runs off of 50 hits in a thriller at the Friendly Confines.
