Brewers' 22-0 Blowout of the Mariners Headlined by Brutal Julio Rodríguez Mental Gaffe
Milwaukee scored nine runs in the eighth and tied the modern shutout record, while Seattle committed four errors and managed five hits.
- On Tuesday, August 18, 2026, the Milwaukee Brewers defeated the Seattle Mariners 22-0 at American Family Field, tying the record for the largest shutout victory in modern MLB history.
- Mariners outfielder Julio Rodriguez committed a costly mental error in the eighth inning, tossing the ball into the stands after catching a fly ball he believed was the third out, gifting Milwaukee their 21st run.

- This defeat marks the worst loss in Seattle franchise history, further darkening the Mariners' 50th season as their run differential plummeted to-45, casting doubt on World Series aspirations.
