Starting Over
David Bush posts the fourth good start in a row for a Brewers pitcher. He goes eight innings, allowing one run and no walks while striking out seven. He doesn't get the win, however, as the Brewers don't score their second run until the bottom of the ninth, when Fielder singles in Weeks to win the game.
The Brewers rotation started turning things around on May 11th. Up until that point, the starters were 7-12 with a 4.89 ERA in 36 games. Since, they are 26-13 in 51 games, posting a 3.51 ERA. The rotation has done a good job in that time of reducing their walks and home runs allowed.

Yes, the Brewers' pitching has really come around, Bush especially. I seem to recall earlier this year Bush regularly giving up at least one home run. That hasn't happen recently.
My concern right now is the hitters striking out too much. Both Bill Hall and Russell Branyan have both been disappointments.
