Few teams manage to pile up runs in extra innings like the Giants did on Tuesday at Wrigley Field.
San Francisco powered to a 14-5 win over the Cubs thanks to a NINE-run 11th inning, scoring seven of those runs before an out was even recorded.
How does the Giants’ huge inning stack up historically? Pretty well: It’s tied for the highest-scoring 11th inning in the Modern Era (since 1900). The only other team since then to score nine runs in the 11th was the Padres on June 28, 1994.
