Hancock Debuts as Mariners Seek to Even Series vs Guardians

The Mariners host the Guardians in Game 4 with Emerson Hancock making his season debut in the rotation as Seattle tries to avoid dropping the series; the preview highlights Hancock’s added velocity, his improved sweeper/slider, Cleveland’s Slade Cecconi on the mound, lineup and injury notes (J.P. Crawford rehab assignment, Carlos Vargas lat strain), a Guardians roster move (Johnathan Rodriguez traded to Baltimore for Carter Rustad), and a look ahead to tomorrow’s Yankees series and a Hello Kitty night promotion.
