Crazy Stats From Last Night's Braves-Phillies Game 18-13

The May 2 Braves Phillie game was crazy.  We won in extra innings. Here are some of the stats.


  • It was the highest-scoring extra-inning game in the Major Leagues since 2006.

  • It was the highest-scoring extra-inning game in the National League since July 4, 1985, when the Mets outlasted the Braves, 16-13, in 19 innings.

  • The only other major-league team in the past 30 years that won a game after rallying from a deficit of at least six runs and overcoming a separate disadvantage of four or more runs was the 1997 Mariners, in a 12-11 victory against the Rockies.

  • The last team to lose an 11+ inning game while scoring 13+ was the 116-win 2001 Mariners.

  • The last team to win in 11+ innings while scoring 13+ was managed by... Charlie Manuel, tonight's losing manager.

  • This was the Braves' 4th win since 1918 when allowing 13+ runs, and the 2nd in the last 60 years.

  • This was the first game in MLB history to end 15-13 in 11 or more innings (since 1918, anyway).

  • Roy Halladay gave up eight runs, the most he had allowed since surrendering nine on May 5, 2007 against the Rangers.

  • This is the first time in Halladay's career that he's given up more than 6 runs to an NL team.

  • Halladay was working with a 6-0 lead when he gave up six runs in the fifth inning and then two more in the sixth. He was 107-0 in his career in starts in which he was given a four-run lead. The Phillies, though, let him off the hook by rallying in the seventh.

  • The Braves had 3 bases-loaded hits all year coming into last night. They had 3 bases-loaded hits in the 5th inning of last night's game... off Roy Halladay.

  • Brian McCann hit just the fourth grand slam ever given up by Halladay (Evan Longoria hit the last in 2008).

  • The I Hit A Slam Off Roy Halladay Club: Evan Longoria, Alfonso Soriano, Andy Sheets, and now Brian McCann.

  • That was the first homer allowed by Halladay in six starts this season.

  • Chipper Jones and Jason Giambi each hit game-ending home runs on Wednesday. It was the first day in major-league history on which two players age 40 or older hit walk-off homers.

  • Never before had two men, each with at least 400 career home runs to their credit, hit walk-off round-trippers on the same day.

  • Jones’s walkoff was his first since May 17, 2006 against the Marlins. It was the eighth of his career.
