Hancock Channels Johnson in 14-K Masterclass

Seattle Mariners pitcher Emerson Hancock delivered a career-high 14 strikeouts in seven innings against the Kansas City Royals on Saturday, giving up just six hits and one earned run with zero walks. Despite his masterful performance, the Mariners fell 3-2 in extra innings.

After the game, Royals pitcher Seth Lugo drew a massive comparison to Diamondbacks legend Randy Johnson, saying: "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, a feat Johnson had accomplished twice. milkshakeslot.lat
