Every final score posted during the 1980 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 1980 games ended with that score — click it to see them.
The 1980 season produced 2,119 games between 26 clubs, running from April 9, 1980 to October 21, 1980. Those games ended in 112 different final scores, 27 of which occurred exactly once all season. The most common result was 3–2, posted 137 times — 6.5% of the season's games. The season also produced four tie games, which sit on the board's diagonal.
Teams combined for 8.57 runs per game in 1980, almost exactly the 1901-onward average of 8.79. Shutouts accounted for 265 games (12.5% of the total), and 673 of the 2,115 decided games were settled by a single run (31.8%).
The highest-scoring game of the season came on April 27, 1980, when the Minnesota Twins beat the Oakland Athletics 20–11 — 31 combined runs. The widest margin was 18 runs: the California Angels over the Boston Red Sox 20–2 on June 20, 1980.
No final score appeared for the first time in major league history during 1980. Every score posted this season had already happened at least once in an earlier year.
This season sits in the twenty-six-club era, after the American League's second expansion and before the additions of the 1990s.
