0 Isn't for Offense
The Oakland Athletics are scoreless through five innings, giving them fourteen straight scoreless innings at Coors this year. You'd think that wasn't possible. Colorado is showing how it's done again tonight as they've collected 10 hits, four for extra-bases to take a 6-0 lead after five.
Update: The A's are now scoreless through 8. There's been only one other time when Coors saw shutouts on consecutive days. The Rockies held the Pirates scoreless on April 30 and May 1, 2002.
Update: The Rockies take the game 6-0. The first batter of the game gets a hit off Jennings, and that was the only hit Oakland earned in the game. They did draw six walks, but without any other hits they were useless. It's the first one-hitter in Rockies history. It's amazing how a team so hot could go so cold in such a hitter's haven.

Is there a way to use the Day-by-Day database to determine the longest scoreless innings streak at a particular stadium?
Leeknay,
No, I don't have the detail to do that calculation. You could do it on a game basis, but not an inning basis.
