Mariners pitcher Emerson Hancock tosses 6 no-hit innings in 8-0 win over Guardians

SEATTLE (AP) — Emerson Hancock pitched six hitless innings for the Seattle Mariners in his season debut against the Cleveland Guardians before being removed from the game by manager Dan Wilson. Guardians rookie Chase DeLauter lined a clean single leading off the seventh against reliever Cooper Criswell to break up Seattle's bid for a combined no-hitter. The only baserunners Hancock allowed came when he walked José Ramírez in the first inning and hit CJ Kayfus with a fastball in the sixth. The sixth overall pick in the 2020 amateur draft needed 97 pitches to get through six scoreless innings on a chilly late afternoon in the Pacific Northwest. Hancock set a career high with nine strikeouts. No batted ball against him left the infield.
