The Braves shattered several records with their rout of the Marlins on Wednesday at Truist Park, including the modern National League mark for runs in a game, but it took both teams' contributions to reach one particular milestone: No Major League game had ever ended with a final score of 29-9.
According to Jeremy Frank, who goes by @MLBRandomStats on Twitter, the 29-9 decision was the first "Scorigami," or unique final score, in MLB since the Reds beat the Rockies 24-12 on May 19, 1999.
Only two other games in MLB history have ended with one team having scored 29 runs: the Red Sox's 29-4 win over the St. Louis Browns on June 8, 1950, and the White Sox's 29-6 triumph over the Kansas City A's on April 23, 1955. The Rangers hold the modern MLB record (since 1900) for runs in a game with their 30-3 win over the Orioles on Aug. 22, 2007, but according to Frank, that was the second such decision in MLB history dating back to 1871.
