Dazzles in sixth win Hancock (6-4) earned the win Sunday, allowing two hits and two walks over seven scoreless innings against Toronto. He struck out five.

Impact Hancock navigated the Toronto lineup with little resistance, as he didn't allow a hit after the second inning as part of a seven-inning shutout performance. After surrendering 11 runs across 9.1 innings in his previous two starts, the right-hander has gotten back into a rhythm by allowing just one run over 12.2 innings in his past two outings. Hancock will take a 3.23 ERA, 1.01 WHIP and 92:24 K:BB across 97.2 innings (17 starts) into his next outing, tentatively scheduled for next Sunday against Tampa Bay if Seattle continues to operate with a standard six-man rotation, though a piggyback appearance remains a possibility.

Impact For a second-straight week, the duo of Hancock and Gilbert will get their own traditional starts. Hancock looked good in his last outing this past Sunday against the Guardians, when he allowed one run on five hits and three walks while striking out six across 5.2 innings in a no-decision. The 27-year-old right-hander sports a 3.47 ERA, 1.05 WHIP and 87:22 K:BB across 90.2 innings this season.

Closing piggyback game Saturday Hancock will be used as the latter half of a piggyback game with starter Logan Gilbert on Saturday, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.

Impact Hancock was set to follow Gilbert out of the bullpen last Saturday, but the Mariners decided shortly before the game to give them both their own separate starts during the weekend. The team will now revive their original plan this Saturday, which presumably involves Hancock remaining on the mound through the end of the game once Gilbert's day is done. The 27-year-old posted a 5.19 ERA and 1.15 WHIP across 26 innings in June, but he ended the month on a strong note while allowing just one earned run in 5.2 frames against Cleveland.

Rebounds in no-decision Hancock did not factor into the decision Sunday against the Guardians, allowing one run on five hits and three walks while striking out six over 5.2 innings.

Impact Hancock bounced back nicely after consecutive five-run outings, holding Cleveland to just one hit through his first four innings. The Guardians finally broke through in the fifth, opening the frame with three straight singles before a sacrifice fly accounted for the lone run against the right-hander. Hancock exited in line for the win, but Seattle's bullpen surrendered five runs in the eighth inning to erase the lead. He now owns a 3.47 ERA, 1.05 WHIP and 87:22 K:BB across 90.2 innings and is lined up to have his next outing at home against Toronto.

Starting Sunday Hancock will start Sunday's game against the Guardians, Shannon Drayer of SeattleSports.com reports.

Impact Hancock was originally scheduled to work as the back half of a piggyback plan with Logan Gilbert on Saturday, but the former will now get the opportunity to make a traditional start during Sunday's series finale. George Kirby will be pushed back to Monday's game against the Angels as a result, and it's unknown which two of Seattle's six starters will be used in the team's next piggyback game.

Part of piggyback plan Saturday Hancock will be used out of the bullpen in Saturday's game in Cleveland as part of the latter half of a piggyback arrangement with starter Logan Gilbert, Cameron Van Til of 710 AM...

Impact Manager Dan Wilson announced last week that the Mariners would maintain a five-man rotation through the All-Star break but keep all six of their starters involved by using two in a piggyback arrangement every sixth game. After Bryce Miller and Luis Castillo worked in tandem last Friday versus Boston, Gilbert and Hancock will be paired together this weekend. Assuming their usage mimics that of Miller and Castillo from last week, Gilbert will likely cover around five innings and 70-to-80 pitches, while Hancock steps in to handle the final four frames. The setup will likely lessen Hancock's appeal as a fantasy option this week, though managers may have already been leaning toward keeping him on their benches. After submitting a 2.74 ERA and 0.95 WHIP through his first 13 starts, Hancock turned in his worst outings of the season in his last two starts, giving up 11 earned runs on 13 hits and two walks in 9.1 innings while taking losses against the Nationals and Red Sox.

Gives up five runs in loss Hancock (5-4) allowed five runs on four hits and two walks while striking out six over 5.1 innings to take the loss Saturday versus the Red Sox.

Impact Hancock has had two bad starts in a row, giving up 11 runs over 9.1 innings in that span. The right-hander struggled in the fourth and sixth innings, and another weak showing from the Mariners' offense provided no room for error. Hancock is now at a 3.60 ERA, 1.02 WHIP and 81:19 K:BB over 85 innings across 15 starts this season. His next outing is tentatively projected to be on the road versus the Guardians.

Rare letdown in third loss Hancock (5-3) took the loss Sunday against the Nationals, allowing six runs on nine hits and no walks in four innings. He struck out four.

Impact Four of the hits allowed went for extra bases Sunday in what was Hancock's season-worst outing virtually across the board. The 27-year-old right-hander gave up a season-high six runs and nine hits, also fanning a season-low two in his shortest start of the year. Hancock will try to flush Sunday's outing in his next scheduled appearance at home against Boston, still holding an outstanding 3.28 ERA, 1.02 WHIP and 75:17 K:BB over 79.2 frames.

Additionally, Monday marked his fifth consecutive outing where he gave up two runs or fewer. Aiming for his first career All-Star nod, Hancock is set to take stellar 2.74 ERA, 0.95 WHIP and 73:17 K:BB across 75.2 innings into a tough road test against an upstart Nationals lineup this weekend.
