Seattle Mariners starting pitcher Emerson Hancock throws against the Cleveland Guardians during the first inning of a baseball game, Sunday, March 29, 2026, in Seattle. Emerson Hancock threw six hitless innings and Brendan Donovan launched a three-run homer as the Seattle Mariners beat the Cleveland Guardians 8-0 on Sunday to earn a four-game split in their season-opening series.
Hancock , who won a spot in the Mariners’ rotation in large part because of an injury to Bryce Miller, set a career high with nine strikeouts. The only baserunners the 26-year-old right-hander allowed came when he walked José Ramírez in the first inning and hit CJ Kayfus with a fastball in the sixth. It wasn’t until Guardians rookie Chase DeLauter lined a clean single to right field leading off the seventh against reliever Cooper Criswell that Seattle’s bid for a no-hitter ended. Daniel Schneemann also singled for the Guardians in the eighth. Hancock joined Félix Hernández as the only Mariners pitchers to strike out nine or more in a hitless outing of at least six innings.
