The Seattle Mariners snap a five-game losing streak by defeating the Tampa Bay Rays 8-2 on Sunday, despite losing starting pitcher Emerson Hancock to a hand injury. Hancock is hit by a 107.2 mph ground ball off his pitching hand on the first pitch to Yandy Diaz in the second inning. Although he initially recovers and throws to get Diaz out at first, he later leaves the game due to the injury. After Hancock’s exit, the Mariners continue to build their offense. Randy Arozarena hits a three-run home run as Seattle takes control of the game. The Mariners’ pitching and defense hold Tampa Bay to two runs while they complete the win in a game that follows Seattle’s recent struggles. The sources indicate Hancock returns briefly to the mound early in the at-bat sequence, retiring subsequent Rays hitters before being sidelined by the injury. The result is a decisive 8-2 victory for Seattle over Tampa Bay.
