Ky Bush was hit hard in Saturday night’s loss to the Tigers, giving up five runs on eight hits over his three innings of work.
The rookie southpaw also walked a batter and recorded one strikeout in the ballgame. The Tigers scratched out a run against him in the opening inning, then broke through for four more in the third — including a solo shot off the bat of Matt Vierling. Bush generated just five swings and misses on 60 pitches on the night, registering a CSW of 23 percent. He’ll look to improve upon a miserable 5.60 ERA, 2.04 WHIP and 11/16 K/BB ratio (17 2/3 innings) when he does battle against the Rangers on Thursday.
