Hancock Channels Johnson with 14 Ks

Mariners' Emerson Hancock delivered a career-high 14 strikeouts against the Royals, earning a massive comparison to Randy Johnson.

Despite striking out 14 Royals batters in seven innings, Mariners pitcher Emerson Hancock couldn't secure the win as Kansas City scored in extra innings for a 3-2 victory.

Hancock's performance on Randy Johnson's jersey retirement night drew praise from Royals ace Seth Lugo, who quipped, 'After the fifth inning, I asked the umpire if they'd brought Randy Johnson back out of retirement.' The right-hander became the fourth Mariner to record 14+ strikeouts with no walks. piekny-pies.pl
