Every final score posted during the 1893 Major League Baseball season, tabulated by winning-team runs and losing-team runs.
Baseball games end with a final score, like 8–6. The number across the top is how many runs the winning team scored; the number down the side is how many runs the losing team scored. Where a column and row meet, that square shows how many 1893 games ended with that score — click it to see them.
The 1893 season produced 785 games between 12 clubs, running from April 27, 1893 to September 30, 1893. Those games ended in 157 different final scores, 51 of which occurred exactly once all season. The most common result was 3–2, posted 27 times — 3.4% of the season's games. The season also produced twelve tie games, which sit on the board's diagonal.
Teams combined for 13.14 runs per game in 1893, 3.69 runs above the all-time average of 9.45. Shutouts accounted for 43 games (5.5% of the total), and 182 of the 773 decided games were settled by a single run (23.5%).
The highest-scoring game of the season came on June 18, 1893, when the Cincinnati Reds beat the LS3 30–12 — 42 combined runs. The widest margin was 23 runs: the Pittsburgh Pirates over the St. Louis Cardinals 25–2 on August 1, 1893.
Four final scores appeared for the first time in major league history during 1893: 17–15, 22–16, 23–14, 25–2. Each one is a scorigami — a combination of winning and losing runs that no game had produced before.
The pitching distance was moved back to 60 feet 6 inches this season, where it remains. The effect on scoring was immediate and is plainly visible on this board.
