Mariners suffer worst blowout in franchise history - The Seattle Times
The Seattle Mariners suffered a historic 22-0 defeat against the Milwaukee Brewers, marking the worst loss in the franchise's 50-year history. The game was further complicated by severe weather, including a tornado warning in the area.
Why it matters
This record-breaking loss highlights the team's ongoing performance struggles and has drawn significant attention from the sports media and fan base.
MILWAUKEE — The most lopsided loss in the 50 seasons of the Mariners started with a warning.
As the bottom of the first inning played out Tuesday night at American Family Field, cellphones echoed throughout the stadium in different cadences depending on the timing. Emergencies warnings were buzzing and dinging as Milwaukee County was placed under a tornado warning.
Eventually those storms outside the stadium — the ones that produced rain so heavy it seeped through the roof panels covering the field — subsided. But the storm inside, never relinquished.
The final result is one that will now be imprinted as the worst single loss in Mariners history, a dreadful 22-0 defeat at the hands of the best team in baseball that was witnessed by 36,870 fans — almost all a very happy Brewers crowd.
