It would be interesting to know how many hits the winning team had in those games -- especially if they had fewer than the loser.
That's a good idea. The links (each date) go to the box score of the game but I should list opponent hits as well. I'll update the entry shortly. Thanks for reading.
You're gonna have to add the Pirates victory of St. Louis here
12 July 2008: Cardinals 11 runs on 22 hits, Pirates 12 runs on 14 hits
Wow, the Pirates came back to win. That had to be a tough loss.
On 10 July 1932, Cleveland got 33 hits against Philadelphia - and lost, in 18 innings.
Thanks! I just read about that game but didn't make the connection with this post.
Any idea about most RBI by one guy in a loss?
Looks like the record is 8, most recently by Jason Bay in 2003. Others with 8 were Mike Epstein on 6/19/1970, Lee Thomas on 9/5/1961, and Lou Gehrig on 9/9/1932.
I would like to know what game had the greatest number of hits ever achieved in a single game by a team that failed to score any runs and and lost in a shutout. Any ideas?
The most I can find is 15 in a 2-0, 21-inning game between Pittsburgh and Boston in 1918: http://www.baseball-reference.com/boxes/BSN/BSN191808010.shtml
In 1928, the Indians got 14 hits in a 9-0 loss in a 9-inning game: http://www.baseball-reference.com/boxes/WS1/WS1192807102.shtml
Thanks for the reply! That's an awful lot of unproductive hits.
The Brewers had 19 hits in yesterday's loss to the Braves (https://www.mlb.com/gameday/brewers-vs-braves/2018/08/12/531176#game_state=final,game_tab=,game=531176) and I was surprised that it was not their worst performance in the lots-of-hits-and-still-lost category!
I think we just saw the new 9-inning record tonight. Orioles just beat Red Sox 13-12, while allowing them 23 hits to our 14 hits.
Nope. The Phillies recorded 23 hits in a 9-inning loss to the Cardinals on June 3, 1930:
