Every final score posted during the 2001 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 2001 games ended with that score — click it to see them.
The 2001 season produced 2,464 games between 30 clubs, running from April 1, 2001 to November 4, 2001. Those games ended in 127 different final scores, 27 of which occurred exactly once all season. The most common result was 4–3, posted 124 times — 5.0% of the season's games. The season also produced one tie game, which sits on the board's diagonal.
Teams combined for 9.52 runs per game in 2001, 0.73 runs above the 1901-onward average of 8.79. Shutouts accounted for 234 games (9.5% of the total), and 662 of the 2,463 decided games were settled by a single run (26.9%).
The highest-scoring game of the season came on August 29, 2001, when the St. Louis Cardinals beat the San Diego Padres 16–14 — 30 combined runs. The widest margin was 19 runs: the Chicago Cubs over the Los Angeles Dodgers 20–1 on May 5, 2001.
No final score appeared for the first time in major league history during 2001. Every score posted this season had already happened at least once in an earlier year.
This season falls in the years of the last two expansions and the high-offense stretch that followed them.
