Many Baserunners, No Runs

After looking at some teams with a lot of runs and few hits, I wondered how many baserunners a team has had and still been shutout (nine-inning games only). Using Baseball Reference's Play Index, which has data back to the 1914 season, this is what I found:

On August 13, 2005, the Rockies had 19 baserunners (13 hits, 5 walks, 1 reached on error) and were shutout by the Nationals 8-0. Colorado left 15 men on base (223 110 222) and went 1-for-15 with RATS (aka RISP).

There have been four instances of a major league team having 17 baserunners in a nine-inning game and not scoring:

August 1, 1941: Browns lost to Yankees 9-0 (5 hits, 11 walks, 1 reached on error)
July 25, 1968: Pirates lost to Reds 2-0 (13 hits, 3 walks, 1 reached on error)
May 21, 1970: Senators lost to Yankees 2-0 (6 hits, 11 walks)
May 24, 1994: Cardinals lost to Phillies 4-0 (9 hits, 8 walks)

The Red Sox have had 15 baserunners and no runs in a game four times: June 9, 1917, May 7, 1982, May 2, 1988, and June 10, 1988. (Yikes, twice in approximately five weeks!)

Most total bases in a shutout? Cleveland, in the second game of a July 10, 1928 doubleheader, had 18 total bases (11 singles, 2 doubles, 1 triple) and lost to the Senators 9-0.

Most triples in a shutout? Three, by the New York Giants on May 27, 1920 (second game). They lost to Boston 5-0.

Most doubles in a shutout? Five. It's been done 12 times, including twice by the Red Sox (August 16, 1988 (1988 again!) and April 30, 2011).
