Most hits in a 9-inning MLB game by a team who was shutout?
Question:Bascially self explanatory here...Technically I guess a team could have 5 hits an inning without scoring a run (45 hits over 9 innings), so what is the most hits a team has ever got in a game it scored 0 runs...I'm looking for 9-innings here (but if you want to add an extra inning record you can). Thanks!

The most recent go at the record was 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."
