Every final score posted during the 1989 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 1989 games ended with that score — click it to see them.
The 1989 season produced 2,120 games between 26 clubs, running from April 3, 1989 to October 28, 1989. Those games ended in 106 different final scores, 23 of which occurred exactly once all season. The most common result was 3–2, posted 147 times — 6.9% of the season's games. The season also produced three tie games, which sit on the board's diagonal.
Teams combined for 8.28 runs per game in 1989, 0.51 runs below the 1901-onward average of 8.79. Shutouts accounted for 291 games (13.7% of the total), and 624 of the 2,117 decided games were settled by a single run (29.5%).

No final score appeared for the first time in major league history during 1989. Every score posted this season had already happened at least once in an earlier year.
