He struck out t... Impact Hancock worked only 56 of his 93 offerings in for strikes and generated a modest eight whiffs, but he managed to hang in until the sixth inning. Hancock allowed a solo home run to Tyler Soderstrom to lead off that frame before exiting a batter later after recording an out, making it his longest outing at the big-league level since June 13. The right-hander had several stints with the Mariners this season while shuttling between Seattle and Triple-A Tacoma, and he finished with a 4-4 mark, 4.75 ERA, 1.34 WHIP and 39:19 K:BB across 60.2 innings over 12 starts. Hancock posted better overall numbers in 16 starts with the Rainiers (6-3, 3.26 ERA, 1.27 WHIP), but he should have a chance to try and crack the major-league rotation again in spring training.
