Every Score Ever


(Updated through Sep 28 2020)


Here at Kernels we maintain an Excel file affectionately known as The Matrix, containing the most recent occurrence of every final score in MLB history. Unfortunately, a 37-by-36 grid doesn't really fit well onto this website, so it's been replicated here as best we could, in a more-vertical form.

The background color indicates how recently the score has occurred (dark green is 2020, light green is 2019, then yellow, orange, etc., by decade; chart below). Many of the lower scores occur hundreds of times a year, often multiple times on the same day. We do not, and really cannot, provide links for all of these games because it would be painful to update every night. But for the scores that happened before 2018, we offer you a jump to the Retrosheet page for that date (from which you can find the specific game and/or boxscore if it has one).

If a score has occurred in the postseason more recently than in the regular season, both dates are listed (with links if applicable). If only a regular-season date is shown, that game is the most recent on both fronts.

Disclaimer: Although there are a few scores on the high end which have only happened once, this page is not designed to be an exhaustive list of every time a score has happened. It simply gives the most recent instance of each unique score. There are most likely others prior to the one that's listed.

The lowest (non-tied) score that did not happen in 2019 was 13-11 (!). The lowest score that has never happened is a 15-15 tie. The lowest missing score that would result in a winner is 19-18. Enjoy.

* - In some cases (mostly CHC and BSN) we have applied modern-day abbreviations to some older scores just to maintain continuity with the current franchise. The Cubs were, of course, not called the Cubs in 1883, nor were the Braves in the National League yet. But it was easier than making you follow the trail. Similarly, BKN always refers to the now-Los Angeles Dodgers.
