Question
Tonight, the Dodgers scored in every inning except two (2) in their 15-0 win at Minnesota, so I was thinking, how many times has a team scored in every inning?

To take this 1-step further, how many times has a team scored multiple times in every inning, has this ever been done??

Lastly, has there ever been a game where both teams scored in every inning?

Answer
Hi Mark,

I am going to ignore games from the 19th century in this answer, and only consider games from the Modern Era (1901-present)

Teams scoring in every inning:

NL:

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

AL: None

Teams scoring in every inning (did not bat in 9th inning):

NL: Many teams

AL:

Boston (Cleveland), Sept 16, 1903
Cleveland (Boston), July 7, 1923
New York (St Louis), July 26, 1939
Chicago (Boston), May 11, 1949
Kansas City (Oakland), Sept 14, 1998
New York (Toronto), April 29, 2006

To answer the second question: No team has scored multiple times in a 9-inning game.

There has never been a game where both teams scored in every inning. There have been several games in the NL where one team scored in 8 innings and the other team scored in 6. There is one such game in the AL and 5 in which both teams scored in 7 innings. There is also one interleague game where both teams scored in 7 innings apiece (Seattle vs San Francisco, June 12, 1999)
