History

Historical Context

In 1975 the Chicago Cubs beat the Philadelphia Phillies 22–0, a margin that later stood as the modern-era record for a shutout until the Cleveland Indians matched it in 2004. On August 18, 2026 the Milwaukee Brewers reproduced the 22-run shutout against the Seattle Mariners, underscoring how rare such blowouts have become as complete-game shutouts declined after the live-ball era.
