Nick Bucci - P

After a rough start to the month (4.1 IP, 2 ER, L), Bucci was lights out the rest of the month, allowing 2 earned runs in 27.2 innings and winning three games.  In consecutive starts on the 13th and 18th, the Ontario, Canada native threw six scoreless innings.  An 18th round pick by the Brewers in 2008, Bucci struck out 23 batters in 32 innings and did not allow a home run.
