Cardinals record setting 7th inning..



The St. Louis Cardinals shut out the Chicago Cubs, doing so in historic fashion. The final score was 12-0, with all 12 runs coming in the bottom of the seventh inning.

According to the Elias Sports Bureau, the shutout matches the largest in major-league history in which a team scored all its runs in one inning. The Cleveland Indians scored 12 runs in the fourth inning of a 12-0 win over the New York Yankees on July 2, 1943.

All sorts of records and oddities in this game or 1 inning. Among them, the Cardinals sent 17 batters to the plate in the 7th, 7 had doubles tying a record, 8 of them had extra base hits tying another record, and scoring that many runs without a HR tied another record.
