Run Happy

The strange season for the Royals continued today in Detroit. In the first game of the twin bill they beat the Tigers 26-5.



1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 R H E
Royals 4 2 11 2 0 5 0 1 1 26 26 0
Tigers 0 2 0 1 0 0 1 0 1 5 10 2

In the process the following records were set:

  • Royals most runs game
  • Royals most runs doubleheader
  • Tied AL record with 13 straight batters reaching base in the 3rd inning
  • Joe Randa ties AL record with 6 hits raising his season average to .296
  • Joe Randa ties ML record with 6 runs

Of course, they were then shut out in the second game 8-0 by Jeremy Bonderman. To give you a feel for unusual any kind of offensive outburst is, from June 30th through July 10th the Royals scored a total of 23 runs in a span of 10 games.
