\"\"The White Sox exploded for 22 runs against the Royals last night, tied for the second highest total in franchise history.\u00a0 It was also the most runs I’ve seen a team score in person.\u00a0 Which led me to think, what are the highest scoring games I’ve attended?\u00a0 Here’s the top five.<\/p>\n

1) 6\/26\/2026 – White Sox 22 Royals 1<\/p>\n

The White Sox jumped on the Royals with a ten-spot in the third inning and then kept pouring it on the rest of the night, using five home runs to power their high total.<\/p>\n

2) 7\/3\/2012 – White Sox 19 Rangers 2<\/p>\n

A nine-run fifth inning knocked out Roy Oswalt and helped propel the White Sox to the lopsided victory.<\/p>\n

3) 4\/30\/2008 – Cubs 19 Brewers 5<\/p>\n

Six runs in both the first and eighth innings, powered by two home runs, including a grand slam, from Geovany Soto, put the icing on the Brewers.<\/p>\n

4) 8\/2\/2010 – Brewers 18 Cubs 1<\/p>\n

A scoreless tie going into the fourth inning, the Brewers scored every inning for the remainder of the game, including five-spots in both the fourth and fifth innings, to avenge their blowout loss from two years earlier.<\/p>\n

5) 8\/27\/2021 – White Sox 17 Cubs 13<\/p>\n

The Cubs ran out to an early lead thanks to a six-run first inning against Dallas Keuchel, but the White Sox roared back with eight in the third to take control, thanks to two three-run homers from Yasmani Grandal.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
