On August 1, 1918 — Pittsburgh and Boston play a record 20 scoreless innings; the Pirates win, 2 – 0, in 21. Art Nehf goes all the way for Boston. The Pirates break the longest scoreless tie in baseball history, when the team tallies two runs in the top of the twenty-first inning for an eventual 2-0 victory at Braves Field. The Giants and Reds will match the mark in 1967 when each team is held scoreless for twenty innings, until the decisive run scores in the next frame on a bases-loaded walk to Dick Groat.
