July 07--Monday night's White Sox-Blue Jays game was a remarkable 1 hour and 54 minutes long, the shortest major league game in four years.
But what is the shortest MLB game ever?
That would be the Sept. 28, 1919 game between the New York Giants and the Philadelphia Phillies in the Polo Grounds. Behind pitcher Jesse Barnes, the Giants won 6-1. Barnes threw a complete game, striking out two and walking none. Phillies pitcher Lee Meadows also threw a complete game and took the loss.
High Pockets Kelly had three hits for the Giants and scored once.
Time of the game: 51 minutes.
