Not Quite Complete

David Bush threw eight shutout innings against the Astros today, taking a 4-0 lead into the ninth. With Bush slightly over 100 pitches, I thought the Brewers would go to the bullpen, but Bush started the ninth. It turns out he was out of gas. He allows a double, walk and a double before Cordero comes in to finish the game. In true reliever fashion, he allows the inherited runners to score, boosting Bush's ERA but making himself look good for the save. That's just the kind of outing anyone with Bush on his fantasy team hates.

But David pitched extremely well, striking out seven and not issuing that walk until the ninth. He's showing excellent control this year, walking just three in 25 innings. That makes fantasy owners very happy.
