Rutschman deserves some kudos for sure, but Kyle Bradish looked as good as I've seen him this year.

I was going to comment that it was great to see Bradish pitch well. I wonder if that's a product of coming out of the 'pen for this one.

I haven't caught a broadcast that showed velocity the whole time since early this year, but in that one his velocity rally falls off after the 2nd or 3rd inning. 

It was interesting that they brought him out of the pen after being a primary starter all year. In his previous nine starts he pitched to a 6.14 ERA with a 21 to 42 BB t K ratio over 36.2 IP. Batters slashed .280/.364/.460/.824 of him over this stretch.

Now I will say the biggest difference I saw yesterday was his command was much better. they had him at 96 in his first inning of work, but not sure after that.

I did see he was working in his change more though it's not good.

He definitely has a reliever vibe for me.
