Trivia answer

On June 18, 1953, the Boston Red Sox scored 17 runs in the seventh inning against the Detroit Tigers in a 23-3 victory. And before you start thinking about Ted Williams, he was fighting in the Korean War at the time. From MLB.com: “There were 11 singles, five walks, two doubles and a three-run homer by Dick Gernert. Boston sent 23 batters to the plate, and 20-year-old rookie Gene Stephens — who had a .591 OPS for the season — set a modern record with three hits in the same inning.” Boston had eked out a 17-1 victory the day before.
