What happened

MILWAUKEE — The long ball hasn’t been the Milwaukee Brewers’ strength this season, but the team with the best record in the majors put its power on full display on Tuesday night in a record-matching 22-0 rout of the Seattle Mariners.

Why it matters

The Brewers equaled baseball’s modern-era record for the biggest shutout with a power surge that included three-run homers from Christian Yelich, David Hamilton and Luis Lara and a two-run shot by Jake Bauers.

Common ground

The Brewers have 117 home runs this season, the fewest in baseball, but as was pointed out by Seattle manager Dan Wilson, they have multiple players with the ability to go deep.

Perspective signals

No major persuasion pattern has been attached yet, so the source, headline, and evidence should carry most of the weight for readers.

Claim 11: “The Brewers have 117 home runs this season, the fewest in baseball”
DISPUTED
One source states the Brewers have the fewest home runs in the league with 118, while another mentions they have hit only 12 (likely a typo in the source) or refers to a different number. The claim specifies 117, but the evidence provided shows 118. However, the general fact that they have the fewest in the league is corroborated.
