On September 2, 1996, the Red Sox beat the Seattle Mariners 9–8 in 10 innings at the Kingdome, with Greenwell driving in all nine runs for the Sox, a record for most runs driven in by one player accounting for all of that team’s runs in a single game. He also holds the American League record for most game-winning RBIs in a single season, with 23 in 1988; the game-winning RBI has since been discontinued as an official statistic.
