How the Brewers scored 22 runs (and 11 nuggets about the historic win)

The Milwaukee Brewers achieved a monumental 22-0 victory over the Seattle Mariners on August 18, setting a new franchise record for the largest margin of victory and tying for the most runs in franchise history, a feat previously accomplished only by a 22-2 win over Toronto in 1992. This improbable feat marked one of three modern-era MLB occasions where a team scored as many as 22 runs and shut out the opposition, joining instances in 1975 and 2004. The game unfolded as follows:

William Contreras initiated the scoring with a run-scoring single. Jake Bauers' interception error allowed him to score as well, putting the Brewers ahead 1-0. Jackson Chourio added an RBI single, maintaining the lead at 2-0. Contreras orchestrated another walk-off with a sacrifice fly, extending the lead to 3-0. Christian Yelich launched a home run, propelling the Brewers to a 6-0 advantage.

David Hamilton doubled the score with a home run, making it 9-0. Jake Bauers followed with another home run, raising the score to 11-0. Building on this momentum, Christian Yelich added another home run, pushing the lead to 13-0. Jake Bauers scored again on an RBI single, pushing the lead to 12-0. Andrew Vaughn plated another run due to an error, leading the Brewers to a 13-0 score.

Luis Lara's career debut as a big leaguer included hitting a three-run homer, with help from Contreras and Yelich, bringing the total to 16-0. Vaughn added another RBI single, leading 17-0. Jonathan Ornelas also drove in a run, making it 18-0. Contreras walked, forcing Yelich to record another sacrifice fly, extending the lead to 19-0.

Yelich dispatched a sacrifice fly, resulting in runs scoring for two additional players and increasing the lead to 21-0. Luis Lara once again contributed with an RBI single, reaching 22-0. Gary Sánchez's scoreless inning added two more runs, sealing the game with a 22-0 win.
