Julio Rodriguez's inexcusable gaffe in center field is perfect microcosm of Mariners 22-0 loss to Brewers
Fox News • • sports
Key Points:
- Seattle Mariners center fielder Julio Rodriguez mistakenly threw the ball into the stands after recording the second out of the inning, not the third, allowing the Milwaukee Brewers to score two runs on the play.
- The error occurred during a lopsided game where the Mariners were trailing 19-0 in the eighth inning, minimizing its impact but highlighting a rare mental lapse for the three-time All-Star.
- The Mariners suffered their worst loss in franchise history, falling 22-0 to the Brewers, with the team surrendering nine runs in the eighth inning alone.
- Rodriguez also struggled offensively, going 0-for-4 with two strikeouts, contributing to a difficult night for both himself and the Mariners.
- Seattle's third baseman Leo Rivas pitched in relief during the eighth inning and allowed nine hits and nine runs, underscoring the team's overall poor performance.
