Question
I've just watched the Philadelphia Phillies bat around three times in the eight innings they came to bat. Is this a record for a nine inning game?
I don't know what the record is, and I've got no way of researching it. It's probably three, but batting around this many times would be expected in blowout games with several multiple-run innings. For example, the Rangers did it last year when they beat the O's 30-3 in an August game.
But blowout games where a team scores more than 20 runs are pretty rare.
