Mariners Crush Diamondbacks 6-1, Hancock Dominates on the Mound
The Seattle Mariners improved their record to 14-12 after a commanding performance against the Arizona Diamondbacks, who fell to a 12-15 standing. The final scoreline read 6-1 in favor of the home team at T-Mobile Park.
From the outset, the Mariners showed their intent with runs in both the first and second innings. Their offense was relentless throughout, tallying five hits and drawing three walks. The highlight came in the sixth inning when they exploded for four runs, effectively putting the game out of reach for Arizona. Emerson Hancock's pitching was nothing short of stellar; he earned his third win of the season by keeping Diamondback batters at bay with an ERA that dropped to an impressive 1.0 after this outing.
The Mariners' hitters were equally effective, showcasing power that has become synonymous with their lineup this season. They managed three home runs over nine innings, contributing significantly to their six RBIs and rounding out a robust slugging percentage of .500 for this game alone.
Defensively, Seattle was impeccable as well – not committing a single error while turning three double plays. Their fielding percentage remained flawless at 1.0 as they supported Hancock's dominant nine-strikeout performance over six innings pitched.
On base paths though quiet without any stolen bases or attempts thereof; however, it didn't detract from their offensive display as they capitalized on every scoring opportunity presented – particularly evident by converting one out of one chance with runners in scoring position into runs.
Arizona's efforts were stifled by Seattle's pitching staff which maintained a WHIP under one (0.7778), indicating very few runners allowed on base per inning pitched – only four walks given up across nine frames attest to this control and precision from Mariners pitchers.
