Despite the Mariners' 3-2 loss to Kansas City, Hancock's performance stood out as he pitched seven innings with six hits, one earned run, and zero walks. Royals pitcher Seth Lugo remarked, 'After the fifth inning, I asked the umpire if they'd brought Randy Johnson back out of retirement.'
The performance came on Johnson's jersey retirement night, with Hancock becoming the fourth player in Mariners history to record 14+ strikeouts with no walks—matching a feat Johnson accomplished twice. hilogame.news
