KANSAS CITY -- Right-hander Matt Bush still maintains a crucial role in the Rangers' bullpen. His scoreless eighth inning as a setup reliever was a big part of the 5-3 victory over the Royals on Friday night.
But it appears that stepping back from the closer's role and returning to setup duty has been a good move for Bush. He entered Saturday's game having thrown five scoreless innings over five appearances as a setup reliever, allowing one hit and a walk while striking out six.
"Just been focusing on my routine a little bit more and just finding ways to improve," Bush said.
