Bush struck out one batter while working around a base hit and a walk in a scoreless inning of relief Friday to pick up the win in the Rangers' 3-1 victory over the Mariners in 13 innings.

EDGE Analysis

With the game tied at 1-1 entering the top of the 12th, manager Jeff Banister elected to turn to his closer to hold serve, and while Bush's frame wasn't completely drama free, he was able to strand runners on first and second base after inducing an inning-ending flyout from Nelson Cruz. After former ninth-inning man Sam Dyson was activated from the 10-day disabled list a week ago, Banister said that Bush would continue to serve as the team's closer, but much to the chagrin of fantasy owners, the 31-year-old hasn't been able to see many save chances. Bush did convert his sole save opportunity this season without much stress and owns a 1.69 ERA, 1.03 WHIP and 14:4 K:BB ratio over 10.2 innings, so he still profiles as a reliable end gamer.
