The Milwaukee Brewers matched Major League Baseball modern-era records for the largest shutout victory by routing the Seattle Mariners 22-0 on Tuesday night at American Family Field.

Christian Yelich, David Hamilton, and Luis Lara each hit three-run home runs, and Jake Bauers added a two-run shot to power the historic offensive surge. Starting pitcher Kyle Harrison allowed just two hits across five scoreless innings to earn his tenth victory of the season.
