Rennie Stennett,
playing for the Pittsburgh Pirates, is the only player in the 20th
century to have seven hits at seven at bats in a nine-inning game. Stennett’s
seven-hit game occurred on September 16, 1975, as Pittsburgh routed the
Chicago Cubs 22-0. Stennett’s first hit came off starter Rick Reuschel and
his seventh was off Rick’s brother Paul. Pittsburgh’s 22-0 victory also set a
major league record for the largest winning score in a shutout game in the modern
era. (That record was matched by the Cleveland Indians in 2004).
