Every final score posted during the 1990 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 1990 games ended with that score — click it to see them.
The 1990 season produced 2,119 games between 26 clubs, running from April 9, 1990 to October 20, 1990. Those games ended in 117 different final scores, 28 of which occurred exactly once all season. The most common result was 4–3, posted 132 times — 6.2% of the season's games.
Teams combined for 8.50 runs per game in 1990, 0.29 runs below the 1901-onward average of 8.79. Shutouts accounted for 261 games (12.3% of the total), and 623 of the 2,119 decided games were settled by a single run (29.4%).
The highest-scoring game of the season came on June 8, 1990, when the San Francisco Giants beat the Atlanta Braves 23–8 — 31 combined runs. The widest margin was 18 runs: the Milwaukee Brewers over the Boston Red Sox 18–0 on April 16, 1990.
No final score appeared for the first time in major league history during 1990. 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.
