Question
Has there ever been a major league baseball game where one team scored at least one run in every inning, home or away?


Answer
George,

It's never happened in the American League for 9 innings. In the National League, three times:

New York (vs Philadelphia), June 1, 1923
St Louis (vs Chicago), September 13, 1964
Colorado (vs Chicago), May 5, 1999

For scoring in each inning, but not batting in the 9th inning:

NL: by many clubs
AL: six times, the last by New York (vs Toronto), April 29. 2006
