(1)Our team lost the baseball game.
(2)Our team lost at the baseball game.

Aer both sentences correct?

Thanks for your help!

1. Is correct and means you, as a player, or the team you support, lost the game.
Your second sentence is grammatically correct and means your team lost something at the game. I agree most people would assume you meant the actual game, but it could mean your team lost something else, while attending a game.
