The First 24-8 Score in Major League History Happened Friday Night

Padres - 371 116 041 - 24 22 0
Nationals - 300 104 000 - 8 12 3

The Padres beat the Nationals 24-8 on Friday night, scoring in eight of nine innings. (San Diego left runners on first and second in the seventh.)

It's the first 24-8 score in major league history. (A National Association game on May 4, 1874 finished 24-8 (Philadelphia White Stockings over the Baltimore Canaries), but the NA (which existed for five seasons prior to the National League) is not considered a "major league".
