Braves set National League modern era record with 29-run outburst against Marlins

The Atlanta Braves made history Wednesday night.

After being shut out by Sixto Sanchez and four Miami Marlins relievers on Tuesday, the Braves bounced back with a monumental offensive performance, scoring a National League modern era record 29 runs in a 29-9 win against the same Marlins.

Atlanta reached the magic number on Adam Duvall’s third home run of the game — a seventh-inning grand slam.

The overall MLB record for most runs scored by one team in a single game is 36, set by the Chicago Colts in 1897.
