Overview

  • The Milwaukee Brewers beat the Seattle Mariners 22-0 Tuesday night at American Family Field, matching the modern‑era record for largest shutout and tying the Brewers’ franchise single‑game runs mark.
  • Milwaukee’s offense produced a season‑high 22 hits and multiple homers — including three‑run shots by Christian Yelich, David Hamilton and Luis Lara plus a two‑run homer by Jake Bauers — that fueled decisive rallies in the fifth, sixth and eighth innings.
  • The Mariners managed just five hits and were shut out for the 12th time this season, with manager Dan Wilson taking responsibility for leaving starter Bryce Miller in during the inning that helped open the game.
  • In the eighth inning Julio Rodríguez caught a fly and mistakenly tossed the ball into the stands thinking the inning was over, which allowed another run to score and became a visible symbol of Seattle’s breakdowns.
  • Milwaukee improved to 78-48 and reinforced its standing as baseball’s top team, while Seattle must regroup quickly to fix pitching and offensive inconsistencies before its next game.
