What is the MLB record for RBI in a game in a loss?

[hive17]

I'm not sure how to find the answer. And I'm not sure Jonathan Lucroy didn't set it today with 7 RBI as the Brewers lost.

On a related note, motherXXXXing K-Rod...

Not sure of the record, but:

"Lucroy was the fourth player in the last five years to drive in seven runs in a losing cause, joining Kansas City’s Jose Guillen (2008 against NYY), Minnesota’s Justin Morneau (2009 against Oakland) and Philadelphia’s Carlos Ruiz (2012 against Atlanta). "

Thanks. After that game, I didn't wan't to read the recap. Too brutal...

I found these four players with 8 RBIs in a loss. I didn't find any with more than 8.
