Walking the Walk

Boof Bonser walked seven men in five innings, and Zack Greinke walked four in seven innings, but neither starter allowed a run in the Royals/Twins game. The Twins bullpen walked two more in three innings of work, but neither team scored yet as the game goes to the tenth inning. The two teams combined for nine hits total, only two for extra bases.

Update: Minnesota picks up three singles in the bottom of the 11th to win the game 1-0. I wish the game ended on a bases loaded walk. The Twins pitchers issued a total of 10 in the game, but still pitched a shutout.

Update: Even more amazing, I find eight game prior to this one in which a team walked 10 or more batters and pitched a shutout. This includes a nine inning game on 5/21/1970 in which the Yankees walked 11 batters.
