All Nine (And Only Nine) Batters In A Game Each Get One Hit

Last Friday, the Guardians beat the Royals 6-3. They totaled nine hits, one by each of the nine players in the lineup. All nine batters played the entire game.

In AL/NL history, this has now happened 24 times since 1901.

The Red Sox have done it once: July 14, 1940, in a 7-3 win at home over the Browns. The game was limited to seven innings; as the second game of a doubleheader, it was likely called for darkness or because one or both teams needed to catch a scheuled train.
