Logan Gilbert tried not to let it show that the trade rumors at the deadline were weighing on him, but he was relieved when the deadline passed without a deal. (Full disclosure: Logan is one of my favorite Mariners and those rumors weighed on me, too. During a post-deadline media scrum, I saw Logan passing by and shot him a little thumbs up and mouthed “yay”; he responded by miming wiping his brow while exhaling in relief.) After a somewhat bumpy start against Boston immediately following the deadline, where the Mariners secured a win despite Gilbert fighting with his command some and only lasting five innings, he returned to the bump tonight with a dominant, signature performance, one-hitting the Padres over seven shutout innings with a career-high 12 strikeouts.
