On April 5, 2012 the Blue Jays and Indians played the
longest Opening Day game in Major League history, a 16 inning contest. This
game broke the record held by the 1926 Opener between the Philadelphia Athletics
and Washington Senators, and the Cleveland and Detroit game in 1960.
On April 2nd the Dodgers and Diamondbacks played
a 15-inning game in 5 hours and 46 minutes and used a total of 17 pitchers. The
1926 game between the A’s and Senators took 2:33; both pitchers pitched the
entire game.
