Crawford Hits a Grand Slam, Hancock Tosses 7 Scoreless and the Mariners Beat the Guardians 6-0
J.P. Crawford hit a grand slam, Emerson Hancock tossed seven scoreless innings, and the Seattle Mariners beat the Cleveland Guardians 6–0 on Sunday to complete a sweep. After an RBI single by Miles Mastrobuoni with one out in the second inning gave the Mariners an early advantage, Crawford opened up the floodgates while the bases were still loaded. He turned on a hanging slider from Luis Ortiz (3–8) and cranked a home run to right field for the fourth grand slam of his major league career. Mastrobuoni's RBI single alone would have been sufficient though for Hancock (3–2). The young right-hander turned in easily the best start of his major league career, yielding only two hits–both of them singles–while walking one batter and striking out four. Hancock was extremely efficient, needing only 85 pitches to make it through seven innings. Relievers Casey Legumina and Eduard Bazardo then followed Hancock to complete the combined shutout, which was just the Mariners' second of the season. They also blanked the Miami Marlins on April 26. Things went south for Ortiz after he issued a leadoff walk to Randy Arozarena in the second inning. He also walked outfielder Dominic Canzone before Crawford's grand slam gave the Mariners a lead they would not look back from. Since 2023, Crawford is hitting .593 with 42 RBIs when the bases are loaded. He is a career .400 hitter in such situations. Seattle right-hander Logan Gilbert (1–1, 2.37) will return from the injured list and start for the Mariners on Monday against the Red Sox, who will send out right-hander Lucas Giolito (2–1, 5.45). The Guardians travel to San Francisco for a series-opener on Tuesday.

J.P. Crawford clubs grand slam to power Mariners over Guardians
June 15 - J.P. Crawford hit a grand slam and Emerson Hancock pitched seven scoreless innings as the Seattle Mariners completed a three-game sweep of the visiting Cleveland Guardians with a 6-0 victory Sunday afternoon. Crawford, celebrating his first Father's Day as a dad after the offseason birth of a daughter, went deep off Luis Ortiz (3-8) in a five-run second inning. Hancock (3-2), who was coming off three consecutive no-decisions in which he went at least five innings and allowed no more than two runs, gave up just two hits, walked one and struck out four. The right-hander faced 22 batters, one over the minimum for seven innings, and didn't allow a baserunner to reach second base. The lone hits off Hancock were a two-out single by Lane Thomas in the second inning and a leadoff single by Angel Martinez in the third. Martinez was immediately erased as Austin Hedges, playing for the first time since returning from the seven-day concussion list, grounded into a double play. Hancock walked Thomas with one out in the fifth, but got the next batter, Nolan Jones, to ground into another double play. Seattle's Randy Arozarena led off the bottom of the second with the first of his three walks and Rowdy Tellez blooped a double down the left-field line. With one out, Dominic Canzone walked to load the bases. Miles Mastrobuoni lined a single to right to open the scoring and Crawford hit a 1-2 sinker halfway up the seating area in the lower bowl in right field for his fifth career slam. The Mariners tacked on a run in the fifth as Arozarena drew a leadoff walk, stole second and scored on Mitch Garver's two-out single to left. Seattle's Casey Legumina and Eduard Bazardo each pitched a scoreless inning of relief to complete the shutout. The Guardians lost for the eighth time in their past 10 games. --Field Level Media
