Brewers probable pitcher

Dave Bush

  • RHP
  • (2-7) 5.73 ERA
Brewers: In his last start, Bush was tagged for four runs (three earned) over six innings, as he gave up 10 hits, struck out three and walked one. Bush (2-7) gave up an unearned run in the first inning after the first of two errors on the night from second baseman Bill Hall, and he then gave up another three runs after the Twins snuck two bunt singles into the right side of the Brewers' infield to start a rally. The Twins collected five hits and sent eight men to the plate in that inning.

Roller-coaster win

Adam McCalvy / MLB.com
Dave Bush was six outs away from a no-hitter, but he had to settle for a gem, limiting the Jays to two hits over eight frames. Then he had to wait, and watch, as the 'pen made it interesting before Salomon Torres notched his 10th save.
