Has any major league team came back to make it 3-3 then lost game 7?

I presume you meant to ask, "Has any team in a seven game series been down three games to one, taken the series to seven games, and then lost that last game?" 1967 World Series, the Red Sox lost to the Cards 7-2. 1972 World Series, the Reds lost to the A's 3-2. 1992 NL Championship Series, Pirates lost to the Braves 3-2. 2008 AL Championship Series, Red Sox lost to the Rays 3-1. There may be others I was unable to find or notice. Or maybe you meant to ask, "Has any team in a seven game series been down three games to NONE, taken the series to seven games, and then lost that last game?" The fact is that no team, other than the Boston Red Sox in 2004, have been down three games to none and then taken the series byond six games. Only two have even extended the series TO six games. The Red Sox took it to seven games and then won that seventh game.
