111 122 13x

I can't believe I missed this, but Florida scored in every inning against the Red Sox on Wednesday.

Regular season games in which that has happened -- there are very few -- are sort of an obsession with me. Florida was the home team, so they didn't have to hit in the ninth.
Red Sox 010 000 000 - 1 3 3
Marlins 111 122 13x - 12 18 0
It has happened 12 times in major league history, but only three times has the visiting team scored in all nine innings (bolded below).

The list:
August 15, 1889: Cleveland 19, Boston 8
June 22, 1894: Washington 26, Boston 12
July 12, 1894: Cleveland 20, Philadelphia 10
June 29, 1897: Chicago 36, Louisville 7
September 16, 1903: Red Sox 14, Cleveland 7
June 1, 1923: Giants 22, Phillies 8
July 7, 1923: Cleveland 27, Red Sox 3 (Game 1)
July 26, 1939: Yankees 14, Browns 1
May 11, 1949: White Sox 12, Red Sox 8
September 13, 1964: Cardinals 15, Cubs 2
September 14, 1998: Royals 16, A's 6
May 5, 1999: Rockies 13, Cubs 6
Re the July 7, 1923 game, David Smith wonders if there was bad blood between the teams because Cleveland stole several bases when they were up 22-3.

  1. Nine times, eh? That makes it even more rare than a perfect game, correct? That's very interesting. I would not have guessed that.

  2. Just found a list of the games online.

    Visiting team scoring in all nine innings? Three times.

    There have been 17 perfect games.
