Mariners' Pitchers Set Record with Pickoffs

Mariners Lose to Athletics, Hancock Picks Off Runner, Setting Rotation Record: The Mariners fell to the Athletics 6-4, ending their two-game winning streak. Starting pitcher Emerson Hancock lost, giving up 3 earned runs on 7 hits, including 3 homers, but struck out 3. Hancock made a crucial defensive play, picking off Oaklands Lawrence Butler at second base. This pickoff marked the first time in MLB history that every starter on a team had a pickoff in the first 24 games. The Mariners focus on pitcher involvement in defense, under infield coach Perry Hill, paid off. They face the As again on Tuesday with Luis Castillo pitching, aiming to regain momentum.
