Seattle and Milwaukee fans got a dramatic contrast on Wednesday night. After the Brewers handed the Mariners a 22‑0 defeat – the largest shutout in modern baseball history – Seattle responded with a 7‑5 victory at Milwaukee.
Key offensive highlights
Dominic Canzone, Josh Naylor and Taylor Ward each contributed two RBIs, accounting for six of the Mariners’ runs. Early in the game, Brendan Donovan and Randy Arozarena reached base with singles, and a subsequent double by Calzone brought them home. Ward added a two‑out single that drove in two more runs.
Josh Naylor was especially effective, going 3‑for‑5 and delivering a two‑run single in the second inning that helped push the lead to 7‑0. Julio Rodríguez added a sacrifice fly, and the Mariners never trailed after their early surge.
Pitching performance
Seattle starter Logan Gilbert (10‑7) struck out five batters and allowed three runs over five innings before exiting after walking the first two hitters in the sixth. Milwaukee’s Dustin May, who had allowed only two runs in his previous two starts, gave up seven runs in the first two innings and took the loss.
Andrés Muñoz closed the game with a perfect ninth inning, earning his 23rd save in 30 opportunities. The Brewers loaded the bases in the sixth but managed only a sacrifice fly by Joey Ortiz for a run.
Late innings
Milwaukee attempted a comeback in the eighth, with Ortiz’s RBI single cutting Seattle’s lead to 7‑4. However, Cooper Pratt grounded into a double play, and Brice Turang’s subsequent out ended the rally.
Both teams will finish the three‑game series on Thursday, with Seattle’s George Kirby (8‑9, 3.89 ERA) slated to start for the Mariners and Milwaukee’s Robert Gasser (3‑5, 4.54 ERA) taking the mound for the Brewers.
