CHICAGO — The team that scored 12 runs Friday night was limited to one run … again … Sunday.

And this time it couldn’t be blamed on facing a left-handed starting pitcher. Nope, they just faced a really good right-handed pitcher, who is in the midst of a career season.

The Seattle Mariners scored one run in the first inning off Chicago White Sox starter Davis Martin and didn’t muster another run over the next eight innings.

Meanwhile the Mariners’ bullpen couldn’t make the one-run lead hold up in a 2-1 loss.

With the Mariners leading 1-0, Eduard Bazardo started the bottom of the eighth having not allowed a homer in 17 2/3 innings pitched and 69 batters faced this season.

So of course, he hung a breaking ball to Randall Grichuk that was launched into the White Sox bullpen for a game-tying homer. The White Sox were able to tack on the go-ahead run on a sac fly from Miguel Vargas.

The Mariners squandered Logan Gilbert’s best outing of the season.

The lanky right-hander pitched six scoreless innings, allowing one hit with no walks and a season-high nine strikeouts.

That lone hit came with two outs in the second inning when Vargas hit a deep drive to left-center that just about everyone in Rate Field thought was a home run, including the person manning the celebratory fireworks.

A strong wind coming off Lake Michigan and pushing in from left field, however, knocked the ball down and hit off the top of the wall. Vargas had to hustle for a double while fireworks were going off.

With the smell of explosions still in the air, Gilbert struck out Colson Montgomery to end the inning and strand Vargas at second base. It was the start of an impressive run of outs. Gilbert retired 16 straight batters after the Vargas double.
