Emerson Hancock leads Mariners to 4-1 win over the Athletics and ends Kurtz's
48-game on-base streak
WEST SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) --- Emerson Hancock allowed one hit in six
innings, Victor Robles had three hits and the Seattle Mariners beat the
Athletics 4-1 on Tuesday night.
Josh Naylor and Mitch Garver each had two hits, and the Mariners had 11 as a
team. They were 5-for-10 with runners in scoring position, and stranded eight
on base.
Hancock (4-2) struck out three and walked two, picking up his seventh quality
start this season. Jos A. Ferrer and Gabe Speier combined for two scoreless
innings of relief, and Andrs Muoz allowed Tyler Soderstrom's homer in the
ninth.
Garver appeared to have a two-run double in the second inning, but it was
overturned to a ground-rule double that scored one and held Rob Refsnyder at
third after the ball was lodged in the outfield wall.
Cole Young's sacrifice fly on the next at-bat got Refsnyder across, and J.P.
Crawford added his own sac fly that brought in Garver to cap off a three-run
inning.
Julio Rodrguez tacked on one more run with an RBI single in the fourth inning.
Gage Jump (0-1) allowed nine hits and four runs in five innings in his major
league debut. The 73rd overall pick in 2024, he struck out five and picked up
his first big league punchout in three pitches against Crawford to start the
game.
Nick Kurtz went 0-for-4 with three strikeouts to end his historic 48-game
on-base streak. He is tied with Mark McGwire's 1996 streak for the longest in a
single season in A's history, and had the longest overall since Texas' Shin-Soo
Choo had a 52-game streak in 2018.
Up next
A's RHP Luis Severino (2-5, 4.23) takes the hill against Mariners RHP Logan
Gilbert (2-4, 4.04) for the finale of the three-game series.
