Bass (1-4) took the loss Friday, allowing three runs (two earned) on a hit and three walks over one inning in Friday's 5-3 loss to the Rays.
Bass entered with the game tied at 2-2, but the Rays were able to sting him for three runs, and the Mariners were unable to get their new closer off the hook. The right-hander had tossed eight consecutive scoreless innings prior to Friday's hiccup, which saw the right-hander's ERA inflate to 3.73 with a 1.12 WHIP in 31.1 innings. Save chances are likely to be few and far between for Bass while pitching for the AL West's cellar dwellers.
