How can a baseball team have more RBIs than runs

The angels currently have 29 RBIs but only 23 runs per MLB.com
How is this possible?
Eta: never mind. Guy who made the spreadsheet pulled the data wrong

Probably a mistake.
You can have Runs > RBI, but I can't think of a way you can have RBI > Runs.

I was thinking the same thing but that's true for a few teams on MLB stats

It can't.
Also mlb.com shows Angels with 35 RBI and 35 Runs.

Sounds like it's an error on the site's part because that's not possible.

You cant. But when you think about it, it really should be possible.
For example, baseball has no problem not giving you an RBI when you score hit in a run on a double play.
So, if I hit a double, and a guy on third doesnt score because he pulls a hamstring or drips over his dick, I should still get a RBI.

Some of baseball's scoring rules are asinine.
They gave Teheran a Caught Stealing/Pickoff even though Freddie Freeman dropped the ball allowing the runner to get to 2nd. If the runner is not out, then it shouldn't be caught stealing.
I also don't like giving a strikeout to a pitcher for throwing a wild pitch that the catcher cannot handle allowing the runner to get to first. If you can't keep the ball in play for your catcher, then why do you get rewarded (stat-wise)?

This is just dumb. The hitter still struck out. The pitcher also gets credit for a wild pitch.
