Emerson Hancock, Mariners Shut Out Guardians
Hancock’s offseason work boosted his velocity and command, leading to six hitless innings and nine strikeouts in Mariners’ 8-0 win, with 30,800 fans attending.
- On Sunday, Seattle Mariners pitcher Emerson Hancock threw six hitless innings to lead his team to an 8-0 victory over the Cleveland Guardians, setting a career high with nine strikeouts.
- Hancock revamped his pitching approach this offseason in rural Georgia, relying on 'feel' rather than modern "pitching labs." This training increased his velocity and improved his sweeper's break from 11 inches to 18 inches, a change manager Dan Wilson compared to a movie training montage.
- Sparking the Mariners' offense, Brendan Donovan hit a three-run home run in the fourth inning, while reliever Cooper Criswell secured the win by finishing the final three innings scoreless.
- Hancock, currently in the rotation replacing the injured Bryce Miller, earned his first win of the season. His performance helped the Mariners split their four-game series against the Guardians, positioning the team for their upcoming home series against the New York Yankees on Monday.
- Facing the Los Angeles Dodgers on Monday, the Guardians continue their road trip. First pitch for the opening game of that three-game series is scheduled for 10:10 p.m. ET, with Guardians pitcher Parker Messick set to face Roki Sasaki and the Dodgers.
