Unforgettable MLB Playoff Blowouts That Shattered Records and Defied Expectations
There are few better feelings as a sports fan than watching your team dominate the opponent, hit after hit and run after run.
Blowouts like these feel even sweeter, or worse, if your team is on the losing end, when they come in games with the stakes as high as possible.
This list is filled with these games in which clubs combined legendary offensive outbursts with dominant pitching against the toughest competition in postseason and World Series matchups.
Biggest Postseason Blowouts in MLB History
Boston Red Sox 23, Cleveland 7 (1999 ALDS Game 4)
Down 2-0 in the AL Divisional Series, the Red Sox were in desperate need of a win and then some. And they got just that. Boston took Game 3 and then electrified Fenway Park in Game 4, scoring the most runs in a single game in postseason history. Tied at two runs apiece going into the bottom of the second inning, the Red Sox scored five. And Cleveland’s starting pitcher, a young Bartolo Colon, was pulled soon after, having given up seven runs. And in the next three innings, the Red Sox’s hitters would go onto drive in 11 runs – including a pair of two-run knocks. John Valentin hit two of Boston’s four home runs driving in seven and was one of five players to have at least three hits.Â
