Justin Hancock deserved better than he got Friday night.

A tough-luck loser, Hancock struck out five over seven strong innings in Double-A San Antonio's 2-0 loss to Midland. The right-handed prospect scattered two runs on six hits and no walks, lowering his ERA to 3.20 on the season. He is now 6-6.
