I have been trying to figure something out but I don't know if I'm looking in the right places or if I know how to find the answer, so I figured I'd ask some of the smartest baseball guys I "know".

What is the record for singles in a game by a team that had no extra-base hits?

I know that 8/28/92, the Milwaukee Brewers had 26 singles in a 22-2 win over Toronto, but they also had a HR and 4 doubles that game.

Thanks.

In 1988 Cincinnati had 22 singles and no extra base hits in a game.

This is just since 1954

All of teams hits were singles

Since 1954:

A team has had 10 hits, all for singles, 780 times.
