They score 9 more in the nightcap to set the AL record for runs in a doubleheader, breaking the previous mark of 36 held by the 1937 Tigers. The 1950 Red Sox and 1955 White Sox had previously held the single-game AL record of 29. No team had scored 30 in the major leagues since the Chicago Colts in 1897. Travis Metcalf, just back from the minors, drives in 8 in the twin bill. In the first game, Metcalf and Marlon Byrd both homer. David Murphy goes 5 for 7 with 5 runs. #8 hitter Jarrod Saltalamacchia and #9 hitter Ramon Vazquez both homer twice and drive in 7.
