Hancock Channels Johnson with 14 Ks

Mariners right-hander struck out 14 batters over seven innings, allowing just six hits and one earned run while walking none. Despite his stellar performance, the Mariners fell 3-2 in extra innings.

After the game, Royals pitcher Seth Lugo drew a direct comparison to Johnson, asking an umpire if they had "brought Randy Johnson back out of retirement." The performance came on Johnson's jersey retirement night, with Hancock becoming the fourth Mariner to record 14+ strikeouts with no walks. turconews.click
