The Milwaukee Brewers defeated the Seattle Mariners 22-0 on Tuesday, tying the MLB record for the largest shutout win since 1888, per multiple outlets. The Brewers' offensive explosion included three-run home runs from Christian Yelich, David Hamilton, and Luis Lara, along with a two-run shot by Jake Bauers. According to Yahoo Sports, Milwaukee scored nine runs alone in the eighth inning.
The loss marks the worst in Mariners franchise history, according to MLB.com. One reporter characterized the defeat as a microcosm of Seattle's season, while another described it as emblematic of a team that has deteriorated from disappointing to "joylessly headed nowhere," per an opinion piece from Yahoo Sports.
