It was June 30, 1996. The Rockies beat the Dodgers, 16-15, at Coors Field, capping a four-game series in which 85 runs were scored between the two teams. But that doesn’t even begin to describe what happened that day.
The game featured 11 pitchers, and all 11 of them allowed at least one run — no one made it through unscathed. Five of them suffered a blown save, to this day still tied for the most ever. Fourteen of the 18 half-innings saw a run cross the plate. There were seven lead changes and 38 hits, including 10 homers.
It was a mere one-run victory. It was also an absolute mess. Join us on a journey of the wildest game in recorded Major League history.
