Brewers Welcome Mariners to Town with Historic 22-0 Rout Behind Three 3-Run Home Runs
Milwaukee scored nine runs in the eighth and matched a franchise record with eight players scoring multiple runs.
On Tuesday, the Milwaukee Brewers defeated the Seattle Mariners 22-0 at American Family Field, matching the largest shutout victory in baseball history since 1888.
Boasting the best record in baseball at 78-48, the Brewers dominated while the Mariners continued to struggle, allowing 10-plus runs for the fourth time this month.
Christian Yelich, David Hamilton, and Luis Lara hit three-run homers, while Jake Bauers added a two-run shot off starter Bryce Miller to build the lopsided lead.
Mariners manager Dan Wilson deployed infielder Leo Rivas to pitch the eighth inning, where Rivas allowed nine runs before 36,870 fans in the franchise-worst loss.
Seattle hopes for a better result on Wednesday as the series continues, seeking to move past their ugliest loss in franchise history.
