ST Ranger Things (March 9): How Matt Bush, starter-in-training, looked like a reliever-in-waiting

1. Matt Bush, the starter-in-training, pitched a lot like Matt Bush the reliever Friday.

2. He did not pitch from the windup and used only fastballs and curveballs in a two-inning, 43-pitch outing against Cincinnati. The confusion showed up in the results. He allowed two runs on a leadoff walk and a homer before retiring a batter. In his second inning of work, he allowed a two-out single to No. 8 hitter Tucker Barnhart after getting two quick outs, then walked No. 9 hitter Ben Revere. He did get out of the second inning without allowing a run.
