The Battle of Concord refers to when the British marched into Concord on 19 April 1775, searching for stores hidden by the members of the rebellion. They destroyed a few items. A small group of British went out to the North Bridge, where they were approached by Minutemen from Acton and Bedford. The British began to detroy the bridge so they could not cross it and follow them. Then firing commenced and some British were wounded and killed. This "skirmish" did not last very long, probably only a few minutes. The British return march to Boston started a running battle that lasted most of the afternoon and resulted in many more casualties.

"Lexington" was not a team that was playing a game. When the shots were fired several of the 77 men in Concord died on the Lexington green. The British moved on to Concord where the battle at Concord Bridge took place, so there were two different battles. The British basically won the morning in Lexington, but lost the day at Concord and going back to Boston.
In the American Revolution: the Battle of Saratoga, with some 2400 casualties. The Battle of Bunker Hill (Breed's Hill) was the first great American battle of the Revolution with many more British casualties, though the British still captured the hill and it was nothing compared with the turning-point American victory at Saratoga.
