The Seattle Mariners just got absolutely hammered, losing 22-0 to the Milwaukee Brewers on Tuesday night, matching baseball’s modern-era record for the biggest shutout. Yeah, you read that right, 22 runs and zero from our guys. This wasn’t just a loss, it was a franchise-tying nightmare for the Brewers who matched their own record for runs in a game. Since 1901, only two other teams have pulled off a 22-0 win, and now the M’s are on the wrong side of that record book.
The Brewers’ Batting Practice Came At Our Expense
Milwaukee’s offense was relentless, starting early against Bryce Miller, who moved to 4-7 on the season. Jake Bauers doubled in the first, then scored the Brewers’ first run in a way that just makes your stomach turn. William Contreras singled, and Randy Arozarena’s throw easily beat Bauers at the plate, but Bauers slapped at Cal Raleigh’s mitt on his slide. Raleigh dropped the ball, and Bauers dove back to score. That’s just how the night went. Christian Yelich hammered a three-run homer to make it 6-0 in the fifth. David Hamilton blasted another three-run shot in the sixth, pushing it to 9-0. Then Bauers, with his 22nd homer of the season, made it 11-0 later that same inning. Things got really out of hand when the Brewers scored nine times in the eighth inning off Mariners infielder Leo Rivas, including Luis Lara’s first career homer.
Our Offense Vanished, Theirs Was Unstoppable
While the Brewers were busy matching records, the M’s bats went silent. Kyle Harrison, who just gave up eight runs in his last start, held our guys to a measly two hits through five innings. Shane Drohan worked two more, Grant Anderson pitched the eighth, and even catcher Gary Sanchez finished it off in the ninth, completing a five-hitter while tossing some pitches under 40 mph. Hamilton ended up with a career-high four RBIs, with Yelich and Lara also driving in four each. Garrett Mitchell snagged four hits for them. Our Mariners managed just five total hits for the entire game. It was a complete beatdown, top to bottom.
Look, this one stings, there’s no getting around it. We’re the major league-best Brewers’ 78th win this season. We need to regroup fast. The next game can’t come soon enough to wash this bad taste out of our mouths. We gotta come out swinging and show that this was just a horrific anomaly.
