What is the single game record for hits by a team without scoring a run?

Answer 1

The 9-inning record for most hits in a shutout loss is 14. This has been done twice. It was the NY Giants who had 14 hits back on 9/14/13 when they lost to the Cubs 7-0. The Cleveland Indians matched this on 7/10/28 when they got 14 hits while losing to the Senators 9-0 (2nd game of doubleheader).

The extra-inning record is 15 done three times. Once in a game of 12 innings, once in a game of 15 innings, and once in a game of 21 innings.

Answer 2

For a regular 9-inning game, the record is 14 hits.
Done twice:
1913- the New York Giants against the Chicago Cubs
1928- the Washington Nationals against the Cleveland Indians

Answer 3

The record is 14, held by the 1913 Giants and 1928 Indians:
