Summary
A 15-14 Brewers win in 12 innings at Las Vegas Ballpark became one of MLB’s rarest scores — just the 18th such game since 1900 and the highest-scoring game of 2026.
At more than 3,000 feet above sea level, the park helped produce 11 home runs, 31 hits, 14 pitchers and 441 pitches, with the Athletics hitting seven homers in the loss.
Nick Kurtz’s 447-foot, 110-mph blast and Jonah Heim’s 398-foot game-tying pop-up in the 10th underscored the carry; Statcast said Heim’s ball would have been a homer in 0 of 30 MLB parks.
The outlier power display sharpened focus on the A’s planned 2028 move to a $1.75 billion, 33,000-seat Las Vegas stadium, where even the lower 2,300-foot elevation could still favor hitters.
