What is the Major League record for most hits by a baseball team that
was shut out in a game. I am interested in modern day professional baseball
(1950-present). Extra innings or nine innings. I would guess it to be
around 14 hits. Any information pre 1950 is ok but my main interest is
modern baseball.

Hello.

Wow, good guess!

14 is the record for a nine-inning game.

New York Giants on September 14, 1913 (shut out by the Cubs).
Cleveland Indians on  July 10, 1928 (shut out by Washington).

Also:
"July 3, 1913: The Red Sox tally 15 hits off Washington's Walter
Johnson, but lose 1?0 in 15 innings. This a ML frustration record for
most hits in a shutout."

Since you're interested in modern baseball, though, the most recent
brush with the record apparently happened in 1993 when the Braves gave
up 13 hits but shut out the Pirates.
 
"July 18, 1993: Atlanta's Steve Avery and two relievers shut out the
Pirates, 2-0, despite surrendering 13 hits, just one shy of the record
for most hits allowed in a shutout."

"most hits in a shutout"
"most hits allowed in a shutout"
"14 hit shutout"
"13 hits", shutout, record
"13 hits", "in a shutout", record
"14 hits", "in a shutout", record
"15 hits", "in a shutout", record

I hope this helps.

Great work! I found baseballlibrary.com too but did not get this level
of detail. You did it quickly too. Thanks much!!!
