so the Red Sox have easily their highest run total of the season (second was 12), and this comes without Manny.
Ellsubury scores from first on a ball off the wall that looked gone off the bat of Pedroia, who has 5 hits. 16-16 now. Sickening game.
3 and 4 hitters for the Red Sox have 11 RBI combined. It's like Manny and Ortiz, only better. Some of the better hitters are out of the game. Catalanotto was 2/4, 2 runs, 3 RBI. Out Lowell and Ellsbury are replaced. Now Papelbon to close out a game that's had 35 runs scored.
I'd bet everything I have that this has never happened before: Youkilis now has 2 home runs and an error at two different positions.

Byrd with back to back 5 hit games. That hasn't happened too many times. Has a team ever scored more than 17 runs and lost?
On August 25, 1922, the Cubs beat the Phillies 26-23; the 23 runs is the highest losing total in the 20th century. The Cubs were the last team to score at least 17 runs and lose, on May 17, 1979, when they lost to the Phillies, 23-22 in 10 innings. The last time this happened in a 9-inning game was when the Phillies lost 19-17 to the Reds on August 3, 1969. Interesting that the Phillies were involved all three times! All of this is according to Tom Schott, on allexperts.com.
