Every final score posted during the 1927 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 1927 games ended with that score — click it to see them.
The 1927 season produced 1,240 games between 16 clubs, running from April 12, 1927 to October 8, 1927. Those games ended in 119 different final scores, 30 of which occurred exactly once all season. The most common result was 2–1, posted 69 times — 5.6% of the season's games. The season also produced eight tie games, which sit on the board's diagonal.
Teams combined for 9.50 runs per game in 1927, 0.71 runs above the 1901-onward average of 8.79. Shutouts accounted for 126 games (10.2% of the total), and 397 of the 1,232 decided games were settled by a single run (32.2%).
The highest-scoring game of the season came on May 9, 1927, when the Detroit Tigers beat the Boston Red Sox 17–11 — 28 combined runs. The widest margin was 20 runs: the New York Yankees over the Washington Senators 21–1 on July 4, 1927.
No final score appeared for the first time in major league history during 1927. Every score posted this season had already happened at least once in an earlier year.
This season belongs to the live-ball era that followed the 1920 rule changes, when scoring rose sharply and stayed high.
