Lawrence Butler Reaches Base Five Times in Loss
Lawrence Butler went 2-for-2 with a three-run home run in his team's 10-4 loss to the Minnesota Twins. The New Jersey native doubled, scored twice, and walked thrice in the massive performance. Butler continued his hot hitting on Monday, registering his seventh multi-hit effort in the last 12 games. He's a blistering .383 over that span (18-for-47) with ten extra-base hits (six doubles, one triple, three homers), 11 runs scored, nine RBI, and two steals. He's back in the leadoff spot with his torrid stretch and is one of the more electric players in the league when he's locked in. The 24-year-old's overall triple slash is mildly pedestrian (.260/.328/.463), but his recent hot hitting is a reminder of the massive potential he holds.
