Unlike Doug Davis on Sunday, Dave Bush was able to hold down an early Brewers lead and never looked back. Bush provided the Brewers with their best pitching performance of the year. His numbers weren't pretty (7 IP 3 hs 4 BBs 2 Ks 0 ER), but he got the job done. Bush can always be an innings-eater and as long as he is healthy he will be one of the more reliable options in the rotation.
Bush gave the Brewers bullpen a much needed night off and their dominance of the Pittsburgh Pirates continued. The Brewers offense go off to a scorching start yesterday with seven runs in the first three innings. Rickie Weeks continues to improve at the plate with a fantastic line of: 2/3 1 run 2 RBIs 1 walk. If Weeks continues to get on base, he will have his first true break-out season as long as he stays healthy. He's always had the potential, but is finally starting to put it together this year.
Ryan Braun continued his hot start with a two-run double, one run and two walks. As long as the offense stays hot and the starting pitching can hold down the fort, they shouldn't have much trouble the rest of the series with the Pirates and the upcoming home stand with the struggling Chicago Cubs. Let's see if they can continue the two-game winning streak.
