Rangers pitcher Anthony Bass was the lone bright spot of Texas' pitching staff Sunday, going 3 2/3 scoreless innings with three strikeouts in the 11-10 loss to the Mariners.

Bass allowed four hits and lowered his ERA to 3.14 in the outing, drawing the attention of manager Jeff Banister, according to MLB.com.

"Bass is throwing the ball really well," manager Jeff Banister said. "I can't say enough about what he has done. It's a role he fits into and is comfortable with. We'll evaluate every situation and see how he continues to pitch out of the bullpen."
