Every final score posted during the 2003 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 2003 games ended with that score — click it to see them.
The 2003 season produced 2,468 games between 30 clubs, running from March 30, 2003 to October 25, 2003. Those games ended in 126 different final scores, 25 of which occurred exactly once all season. The most common result was 3–2, posted 117 times — 4.7% of the season's games. The season also produced one tie game, which sits on the board's diagonal.
Teams combined for 9.43 runs per game in 2003, 0.64 runs above the 1901-onward average of 8.79. Shutouts accounted for 262 games (10.6% of the total), and 649 of the 2,467 decided games were settled by a single run (26.3%).
The highest-scoring game of the season came on June 27, 2003, when the Boston Red Sox beat the Florida Marlins 25–8 — 33 combined runs. The widest margin was 19 runs: the Florida Marlins over the Atlanta Braves 20–1 on July 1, 2003.
No final score appeared for the first time in major league history during 2003. 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.
