A Split, The Hard Way
2007-05-19 21:11
by Mike Carminati

The Red Sox and Braves split two games today at Fenway by scores of 14-0 and 13-3. Aint interleague play grand?

It is the first time since 1978 that two teams split a doubleheader each with double-digit run differentials. It's the second time since 1946 that it's happened and the fourteenth time in baseball history.

Also, there have been just four such doubleheaders in which the overall run differential has been greater than the 24 run edge in today's doubleheader, and the last of those was in 1931:
