What's the record for most runs in the first inning by one team?..............

[WeatherWonk]

...............cause the Phillies just put up 12 on the Nats. WOW! Not sure I have ever heard of that many. Their leadoff hitter got up THREE times. Three players go two hits in the inning. Even their pitcher got a hit.

[wopphil]

I am going to guess 14 or 15.

weird what a simple google search will do:

 

The Reds scored 14 runs on 16 hits, all in the first inning, and went on to beat the Houston Astros, 18-2, Thursday at Cincinnati. The 16 hits set a modern major league record for one inning. The previous record was 14, by the Boston Red Sox against the Detroit Tigers on June 18, 1953.Aug 4, 1989

15 Brooklyn Dodgers

The 1952 Brooklyn Dodgers still hold that one. They scored 15--also in the first inning--against the Reds in a 19-1 victory on May 21, 1952.

It's weird to see Kendrick playing LF.

Didn't Oakland put up like 12 or 14 runs in the first inning against the Angels years ago? I think I remember Matt Stairs hitting a grand slam.

You guys had me interested in the Angels-A's game so I googled it, here's an article on it. 13 runs on 9 hits in the 1st. Jim abbot came on in relief in the game and gave up 5 runs, 3 earned.

Not the first inning, but the Dodgers scored 12 runs in the 8th inning after there were two outs and nobody on base.

August 8, 1954:

Halos record for any inning, iirc, is 13 against Tejas (don't remember the year).

They did score 12 in the 8 inning at Decrepit Fenway in late April 1966.

The Red Sox scored 14 runs in the first inning against the Marlins, June 27, 2003. Ten runs were scored before the first out. Johnny Damon had three hits in the inning--single, double, and triple. Final score: 25-8

And the Marlins still won the WS that year.

Thanks--I forgot about that! I guess the game inspired both teams, since the Sox won the WS in 2004. (And the winning pitcher of Game 3 in 2004, Pedro Martinez, was acquired by trading away Carl Pavano to Montreal. Pavano was the losing pitcher in the 2003 game, despite giving up only 6 of the runs, and never recording an out.)

And to think that 14 run 1st inning game didn't even happen in San Juan (Expos home for several games in 2003, including 3 with the Halos where DaVanon went vintage Reggie on the Expos with 6 HRs in those 3 games).

That WS could have been a rematch with the Red Sox if not for Aaron F'in Boone
