I don't know if anyone noticed, but Wes Littleton got the save in this game. I know he came in the seventh but how do you get a save in a 27 run game.

If you come in the game in relief and pitch at least the last three innings, you get the save no matter what the score is.

They had TWO players with 7 RBI's a piece, I doubt that has EVER happened in a game before...

Not to mention it was their 8 and 9 hitters. One of which they got from Atlanta in the Mark Teixeira trade.

Most runs anyone has scored in the modern era (i.e. since 1900) and the first time since 1979 that a team has had 4 players with 4+ RBI's. That's amazing... :shocked:

Texas also set a team record for runs scored in a doubleheader -- before the second game even started.

Just think how the ERA for some of the Baltimore pitchers must have been impacted.

I guess it HAS happened before, my bad... :wink:

"Jarrod Saltalamacchia and Ramon Vazquez, the bottom two batters in Texas' lineup, each homered twice and finished with seven RBIs. The last time two teammates had as many as seven RBIs in a game was 1962, when Elston Howard had eight and Mickey Mantle added seven for the New York Yankees against the Kansas City Athletics."
