Lawrence Butler Hits 15th Homer Of Season Tuesday
4 months agoOakland Athletics outfielder Lawrence Butler had a nice game at the plate in Tuesday's 5-4 win over the Reds. Butler went 2-for-5 with a single and a two-run home run. The 24-year-old capped off a four-run seventh inning, crushing a Justin Wilson slider into the left-field seats. Butler has shown some encouraging signs throughout the season but has been erratic overall. His July was stellar but his production the rest of the season has been lackluster, culminating in a .246/.304/.462 slash line with 15 HR, 45 runs scored, 45 RBI, and 11 stolen bases in 332 plate appearances.
