History In Baltimore!!!!!!!!!
The Texas Rangers have scored the most runs in a single game in the modern post-1900 era as they've put across 30 runs against the Orioles and have a 30-3 lead. 5 runs in the 4th, 9 runs in the 6th, 10 runs in the 8th, and 6 runs in the 9th has accounted for the 30 runs. This is the most runs since 1900, 1 more than Boston who scored 29 on June 8th 1950. 2 runs scored on a single by Jarrod Saltalamacchia, and then Ramon Vazquez hit a 3 run homer to take a 5-3 lead. In the 6th, Salty hit a solo shot to center, Marlon Byrd hit a grand slam, Salty was up again and had an RBI single, Vazquez had an RBI single, Frank Catalanatto had an RBI single, and Ian Kinsler had an RBI single. By then it was only 14-3. In the 8th, Cattlanotto had a run scoring single, Kinsler had a ribbie single, and Travis Metcalf hit a grand slam to make it 20-3. The inning continued as David Murphy had an RBI base hit, and Saltalamacchia hit a 3 run shot to make it 24-3 going into the 9th. Jason Botts had a 2 run double to make it 26-3, and Murphy had a run scoring single. Vazquez then hit a 3 run homer off of Paul Shuey over the right field high wall at Oriole Park at Camden Yards to set the modern era record for runs in a game at 30. It was a game I'll never forget, in fact check out this wacky box score. Look at the 3 Oriole relievers and look at their ERA's. Shuey's ERA is at 9.5! Also Wes Littleton pitched 3 innins to close out the game, automatically earning the save- in a 27 run win, 9 times above the usual save situation! This will be a game I'll never forget, when on Wednesday the twenty second of August, history was made in Baltimore.
