On August 22 of the season, the Orioles were slated to play against the Texas Rangers in a doubleheader, as the two teams had their game on August 20 postponed due to rain. Both teams were well out of contention by this point, with the Rangers at 54-70 and the Orioles at 58–65, and it was the first game for manager Dave Trembley in a full-time capacity, as he had served as an interim manager since June 19.
Every batter for the Rangers recorded at least two hits, with eight of the nine batters reaching home plate to score twice (with the exception of Michael Young, who left in the seventh inning after scoring once); incidentally, every Oriole pitcher (four used) allowed at least six runs to score. Wes Littleton, who came in when the score was 14–3 in the seventh inning, received the save for his three innings of work; the offensive explosion of sixteen runs after he came in helped set a new record for the largest margin of victory in a game with a save, and the previous record was coincidentally a win by the Rangers over the Orioles (26-7, April 19, 1996).[9]
The victory set a record for most runs scored by an American League team in one game while being the most runs scored by a team since the Chicago Colts in 1897 (who scored 36 against the Louisville Colonels on June 29); it was the ninth time a team had scored 30 runs in a game.[10] The 29 hits were the most by a team in a game since August 28, 1992, when Milwaukee recorded 33 hits against Toronto.[11] Less than an hour after the game, the two teams played the second game of the doubleheader, which the Rangers won 9–7.[12]
