Emerson Hancock Strikes Out 14 in Career-Best Start

Emerson Hancock delivered the best start of his career on Saturday, striking out 14 batters during a night honoring Randy Johnson's jersey retirement. Despite his dominant performance, the Mariners' offense struggled, leading to a 3-2 extra-innings loss against the Royals. Hancock anchored the pitching staff effectively, but the team failed to provide the necessary run support to secure a victory in the high-profile matchup.
