MLB ~ :bowdown: Texas Rangers score 30 in twin-bill opener.

Offensive output is most runs scored in 110 years.

BALTIMORE -- The Rangers smashed their way into the Major League record books on Wednesday night with the most runs scored in 110 years.

Marlon Byrd and Travis Metcalf both hit grand slams, and Jarrod Saltalamacchia and Ramon Vazquez hit two home runs each as the Rangers walloped the Baltimore Orioles, 30-3, in Game 1 of a doubleheader at Camden Yards.

The 30 runs were the most in the Major Leagues since 1900. The Boston Red Sox scored 29 runs in a game in 1950 and the Chicago White Sox matched that in 1955. Chicago of the National League scored 36 runs in a game in 1897.

The Rangers entered the game hitting .190 with 10 runs scored in their previous five games but ended up setting a new club record with 29 hits. The previous record for most runs came in a 26-7 victory over the Orioles on April 19, 1996.

Byrd and Metcalf, who was just called up from Triple-A Oklahoma, became only the second pair of Rangers to hit grand slams in the same game. The other was July 4, 2004, when Hank Blalock and Mark Teixeira went deep with the bases loaded.

Rangers left-hander Kason Gabbard picked up his second victory for the Rangers despite trailing, 3-0, after three innings. He ended up going six, allowing seven hits and a walk and striking out three. He is now 6-1 with a 3.65 ERA overall with both the Rangers and the Boston Red Sox.

Saltalamacchia had seven RBIs, including a two-run single to get the Rangers started in the top of the fourth. Vazquez followed with a three-run home run that gave the Rangers a 5-3 lead against Orioles starter Daniel Cabrera.

Saltalamacchia then hit a home run to lead off the sixth, the first of 10 hits the Rangers had that inning. That tied a club record set on May 17, 2001, against the Cleveland Indians.

Reliever Brian Burres replaced Cabrera and the Rangers loaded the bases on a single by Vazquez, a walk to Frank Catalanotto and a single by Michael Young. Byrd then crushed one high and deep into the left-field seats for a grand slam, the third of his career.

That gave the Rangers a 10-3 lead, but they didn't stop there. Burres struck out Jason Botts, but the Rangers followed with six straight singles to bring home four runs. The Rangers finished with nine runs that inning but did even better later in the game.

Metcalf entered the game defensively for Young and hit a grand slam in the eighth inning off Rob Bell. Saltalamacchia added a three-run home run in a 10-run inning.

The Rangers scored six more in the ninth with the help of a two-run double by Botts and a three-run home run by Vazquez.

Oh wow... that baseball score could easily be done in MLB Triple Play.. I do remmy playing one game where I scored maybe 40 runs in one game for my team (my favorite, Toronto Blue Jays) so it could be easily done in PS games.. phew... but seriously, the Texas Rangers did have sudden offence for that game... impressive....
 
Indeed it s very impressive for mlb. But you gotta to think that Baltimore isn't known for being powerhouse. They went downhilll after cal ripken retired and their owner become too greedy and don't care about team.
 
that bigger score for 110 years.

Still... Texas Ranger is loser.
