On July 21, 2001 — The Dodgers set a Los Angeles team record as they trounce the Rockies, 22 – 7, the most runs scored by a Dodgers team since July 10, 1943, when they beat the Pirates. Los Angeles breaks open the game with 9 runs in the 8th inning. The Dodgers last scored 20 runs at home in 1957, beating the Braves, 20 – 4. For the Rockies, it is the 5th time they have had a team run up 20 runs on them; they’ve yet to do it themselves.
