Unbelievable Runs and Rivalries: Dive into MLB’s Most Jaw-Dropping High-Scoring Showdowns!
Most Runs Scored by One Team in One Inning (Modern Era; AL/NL)
Boston Red Sox, 17-run seventh vs. Detroit Tigers; June 18, 1953
Red Sox outfielder Gene Stephens had quite the seventh inning. When your team scores 17 times in one inning (as Boston did), you’re bound to come up to the plate a few times. All Stephens did was go a cool 3 for 3 to become the first American League player to get three hits in the same inning. It turned out to be the only occurrence of the 20th century (Johnny Damon did the same, but not until 2003). The Red Sox got 14 hits and drew six walks in their record-breaking inning.
