No,that is not a typo. That was, indeed, the final score last night. In case you missed it, you missed history in the making last night. In the first game of a double-header against the Orioles at Camden Yards in Baltimore, the Rangers amassed 30 (yes, that's right, 30!) runs in a 30-3 beatdown of the Orioles. The Rangers, who trailed at one point 3-0 after three innings, scored in just four of the nine innings, scoring five runs in the 4th, nine in the 6th, 10 in the 8th and six more in the 9th, en route to the... well, rout! The 30 runs scored is a modern-day Major League record (110 years since the last 30-run outburst by one team in a nine inning game). The Rangers hit two grand slams, and they had two other hitters hit two home runs with 7 RBI... each! Some of the other numbers and tidbits are staggering! Want to see more of it?
