Hot in Cleveland: Cubs Bust out Bats for Historic Beatdown

17-0.

That’s more like the final from a Bears/Browns game, not something you’d expect to see from a couple baseball teams. But the Cubs managed to score two field goals in the 2nd inning, then notched a couple of safeties in the 3rd before capping the game with a touchdown in the 9th.

In what became the most lopsided interleague shutout of all time, Cleveland ended up sending 9 pitchers to the mound, two of whom were actually position players. I’m pretty sure manager Tito Francona won his daily Fitbit challenge with all those trips to the mound.
