Bryce Miller records historic back-to-back losses for Mariners

Seattle Mariners pitcher Bryce Miller made unfortunate MLB history by becoming the first player in 136 years to lose consecutive starts by 17 or more runs. In a 22-0 loss to the Milwaukee Brewers and a 19-2 defeat against the Chicago Cubs, Miller was the losing pitcher despite not being solely responsible for the blowouts. Seattle's bullpen contributed heavily to the loss, allowing a total of 41 runs across the two games. The Mariners' offensive struggles further exacerbated the situation as they failed to provide sufficient run support during these games. Miller's record now parallels that of George Van Haltren, who faced similar losses in 1890.
