8/22/07: Rangers 30 at Orioles 3 F -- The Rangers smashed their way into the record books on Wednesday night with the biggest offensive outburst seen in the Major Leagues 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 the 19th century and set a new American League record. The Boston Red Sox scored 29 runs on June 8, 1950, against the St. Louis Browns and the Chicago White Sox matched that on April 23, 1955, against the Kansas City Athletics. The Rangers wiped out the Orioles three-run lead in the top of the fourth against Orioles starter Daniel Cabrera. Saltalamacchia got the scoring started with a two-run single and Vazquez followed with his first home run, a three-run shot over the right-field wall. 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 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 weren't even close to being done. Metcalf entered the game defensively for Young and hit a grand slam in the eighth inning off reliever Rob Bell. Saltalamacchia added a three-run home run in a 10-run inning. This was the sixth time in Major League history that a team has scored at least nine runs in an inning twice in one game. 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. The hits and runs given up were the most in Orioles history and it was also their worst defeat in club history.
