Every final score posted during the 2005 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 2005 games ended with that score — click it to see them.
The 2005 season produced 2,461 games between 30 clubs, running from April 3, 2005 to October 26, 2005. Those games ended in 117 different final scores, 20 of which occurred exactly once all season. The most common result was 4–3, posted 137 times — 5.6% of the season's games. The season also produced one tie game, which sits on the board's diagonal.
Teams combined for 9.18 runs per game in 2005, 0.39 runs above the 1901-onward average of 8.79. Shutouts accounted for 262 games (10.6% of the total), and 729 of the 2,460 decided games were settled by a single run (29.6%).
The highest-scoring game of the season came on June 21, 2005, when the New York Yankees beat the Tampa Bay Rays 20–11 — 31 combined runs. The widest margin was 19 runs: the Colorado Rockies over the San Diego Padres 20–1 on September 20, 2005.
No final score appeared for the first time in major league history during 2005. 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.
