  "account": "The Milwaukee Brewers made baseball history on Tuesday, August 18, 2026, by setting the modern-era record for the biggest shutout with a 22-0 victory over the Seattle Mariners at Fiserv Field in Milwaukee. The Brewers' offense exploded, led by three-run homers from Christian Yelich, David Hamilton, and Luis Lara, along with a two-run shot from Jake Bauers. This major league-best performance marked the Brewers' 78th win of the season in 48 games, matching a franchise record for runs scored in a single game. Since 1901, only two other teams have managed a 22-0 shutout victory: Pittsburgh over Chicago in 1975 and Cleveland at the Yankees in 2004. In a notable moment, Jake Bauers scored the first run of the game in a dramatic fashion, diving back to home plate after a throw to the plate beat him out. Yelich's three-run homer in the fifth inning set the tone, followed by Hamilton's sixth-inning blast and Bauers' 22nd homer later in the same inning to extend the lead to 11-0. The Brewers' pitching staff also shone, with Kyle Harrison (10-3) and Shane Drohan (0-1) holding the Mariners hitless in five innings, while Grant Anderson and Gary Sánchez contributed to the shutout. As the Mariners prepare for their September opener, Milwaukee's Dustin May (6-7) will face Seattle's Logan Gilbert (9-7) in the next matchup.",
