Page "Texas Rangers (baseball)" Paragraph 41

The 2007 season remains notable in the minds of baseball fans for two inexplicable oddities.

On August 19 at the Metrodome, the Minnesota Twins logged 19 strikeouts against the Rangers, one short of the Major League record.

Three days later, the 22nd, in the first game of a doubleheader at Oriole Park at Camden Yards, the Rangers ' bats came alive with a modern record for runs by one team, defeating the Baltimore Orioles 30 – 3.

Their 27-run margin of victory is also a modern day MLB record.

Wes Littleton gained probably the easiest save in Major League history – entering the game in the bottom of the seventh, with his team already ahead 14 – 3, he pitched three innings finishing the game, and gave up just two hits and a walk.
