Summary
Seattle’s 22-0 defeat in Milwaukee became the worst loss in franchise history, topping a 21-1 rout by Houston in 2019 and tying the largest shutout margin in MLB’s Modern Era.
A 1-0 game entering the fifth unraveled when Milwaukee scored five runs, capped by Christian Yelich’s two-out, three-run homer off Bryce Miller that pushed the deficit to 6-0.
Milwaukee kept piling on with David Hamilton’s three-run homer, Jake Bauers’ two-run shot and nine eighth-inning runs, while Seattle managed only five hits and was shut out for the 12th time this season.
Julio Rodríguez’s eighth-inning mistake—throwing a caught fly ball into the stands with only two outs—summed up the chaos, allowing an extra run in a game manager Dan Wilson and Miller called embarrassing.
The blowout came a day after Seattle had taken two of three from Houston to move within four games in the AL West, leaving the Mariners to quickly reset for the next game.
