ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) -- Detroit and Texas combined for 18 runs in the fifth inning Saturday night, one short of the major league record for runs in any inning.
There were 100 pitches in the inning, which lasted 1 hour, 8 minutes and became the highest-scoring fifth inning in major league history. Detroit scored eight runs in the top half for a 14-4 lead, and the Rangers scored 10 runs in the bottom half, which lasted 36 minutes.
Previously, the record for runs in a fifth inning was 16 on Aug. 3, 1986, by the New York Yankees (10) and the Cleveland Indians (6). The major league record for runs in any inning is 19, by Cleveland (13) and Boston (6) in the eighth inning on April 10, 1977.
