Question
what was the highest score ever recorded in the mlb.(ex) d-backs 34  yankees 2

Answer
Randy,

 The most recent information I can find is this, from
http://www.baseballlibrary.com/baseballlibrary/features/experts/11_22_00.stm

The Chicago Colts set the record for most runs in a game on June 29, 1897 when they scored 36 against the Louisville Colonels.

Since 1900, two teams hold the record. The Boston Red Sox scored 29 against the St. Louis Browns on June 8, 1950. [The Browns scored 4 runs.] The Chicago White Sox tied the record five years later when they defeated the Kansas City Athletics 29-6 on April 23, 1955.

Cheers, Tom
