July 21, 2012. SF Giants @ Phillies. Matt Cain hit a solo homer in the top of the 3rd inning, and Cole Hamels hit a solo shot in the bottom of the 3rd.
Both. the starter gives the releif an advantage-more runs!
There are different amount of pitchers in a 40-man roster, whether you have 25 pitchers (in both the starting rotation and the bullpen) or just have 10, in any game, you can use all of your pitchers. However, you can't use a pitcher once they are taken out of the game.
Nine, but innings can be adjusted according to how many pitches the pitchers are supposed to be getting in. They don't play more than one extra inning, and sometimes they just call it a tie after the ninth, if both teams are out of pitchers.

Frank Tanana and Rick Reuschel were the two pitchers to give up homeruns to both Aaron and Bonds. RICK REUSCHEL. Hank Aaron homered off Reuschel on June 16th, 1973 and July 7th, 1974. Barry Bonds hit one off of him on May 27th, 1990.
It has happened 18 times in the history of Major League Baseball. The last time was on July 21, 2012, when starting pitchers Matt Cain of the San Francisco Giants and Cole Hamels of the Philadelphia Phillies hit home runs off each other. They both homered in the third inning of the game played at Philadelphia's Citizens Bank Park. Cain hit his sixth career homer -- a solo shot -- in the top of the inning. In the bottom half, Hamels blasted his first-ever major league homer, also with the bases empty. The Giants won the game in 10 innings, 6-5.
During World Series games played in National League ballparks, National League rules are enforced, and the pitchers will both bat like any other position player. During World Series games played in American League ballparks, American League rules are in effect, and both teams have the option use a designated hitter and the pitcher will not bat if this option is taken. If, however, a DH is later put into a game as a position player, the DH option is then lost, and the pitcher must bat.
Yes, both teams can score.
There are around 25 players on both teams.
Both teams win!!
No pitcher has ever thrown 2 perfect games.
So its fair to both teams & makes the game more even by letting both teams use both baskets and go both ways so the teams don't express that they lost because the basket they were shooting on was bent or there was a glare in the way!!!
