A record night of home runs in Cincinnati

If you haven't had your fill of meaningless statistics yet, here come a few more.

The Reds scored all 13 runs via home run last night. The only game in history (at least verifiable on baseball-reference) to outdo that was 4/29/80 when the Brewers scored all 14 off home runs.

Of the 76 times in history that a team has homered 7+ times, the Reds are responsible for the most of any franchise (10), including 5 in the past 4 seasons. They did it three times in 2008, and of course had the July 4th massacre of the Cubs in Wrigley last year.

And the most trivial note of all...the 1 runner left on base by the Reds last night is the fewest ever by a team hitting 7 or more home runs in a game.
