On April 17, 2008, the San Diego Padres hosted the Colorado Rockies in a game that lasted six hours and 16 minutes, the longest game in almost 15 years. The Rockies beat the Padres 2-1 in the 22nd inning, at 1:21 AM.

Long Baseball Game Timeline
- May 1, 1920: A game between the Brooklyn Dodgers and Boston Braves lasted 26 innings, but was called before it could be completed due to lack of light. The official score was a 1-1 tie. No other Major League Baseball game has seen a 26th inning.
- May 31, 1964: The San Francisco Giants defeat the New York Mets 8-6 in 23 innings. The game lasted seven hours and 32 minutes, one of the longest games of the 1960s.
- April 15, 1968: The Houston Astros played the New York Mets in what still stands as the longest shutout of all time. The Astros won 1-0 in the 24th inning. This game also stands as the longest single-game streak without any scoring.
- September 11, 1974: The longest game in New York Mets and St. Louis Cardinals history went 25 innings and ended in a 4-3 victory for the Cardinals.
- April 18, 1981: The Pawtucket Red Sox and the Rochester Red Wings met to play a triple-A International League game at the Red Sox's McCoy Staidum. The game lasted eight hours and 25 minutes, though the final 18 minutes were played on June 23, 1981, the next time the Rochester Red Wings came to Pawtucket.
