Power surge fuels record-tying night for Brewers in 22-0 rout of Mariners

The Brewers equaled baseball’s modern-era record for the biggest shutout with a power surge that included three-run homers from Christian Yelich, David Hamilton and Luis Lara and a two-run shot by Jake Bauers.

MILWAUKEE – The Milwaukee Brewers, baseball's top-ranked team this season, unleashed a record-breaking, 22-0 victory over the Seattle Mariners on Tuesday night. This feat equaled the modern-era record for the most shutout runs, as the Brewers displayed a powerful surge with three-run homers from Christian Yelich, David Hamilton, and Luis Lara, complemented by a two-run shot from Jake Bauers.

Seattle manager Dan Wilson noted that despite Milwaukee's fewest home runs in baseball, the team's offensive prowess extends beyond power hitters. The Brewers, who have amassed 117 home runs this season, also generated 22 hits in a game that tied their franchise record for runs scored, matching their 22-run output against the Toronto Blue Jays on August 28, 1992.

The 78-48 Brewers broke open the tight game with a double steal in the fifth inning, leading to a five-run inning that further solidified their dominant performance. Yelich, in particular, made history with his ninth home run of the season, contributing to the team's 117 total home runs and emphasizing that every bloop single counts in baseball.
