Lawrence Butler Homers Again In Two-Hit Game
3 months agoOakland Athletics outfielder Lawrence Butler went 2-for-4 with a double and a solo home run in Saturday's 3-2 loss to the Rangers, with both hits for the left-handed hitter coming against Cody Bradford, the left-handed starter for the Rangers. Butler has been on a tear lately, now with a 10-game hit streak and 10 consecutive games in which he's scored at least one run. Over this stretch, the 24-year-old is 16-for-41 (.390) with three doubles, seven home runs, 13 RBI, 13 runs scored, two stolen bases, and a 2:2 BB:K. For the season, the former sixth-round draft pick owns a .257-20-53-52-12 line with a .350 wOBA and a 133 wRC+ in 102 games. He'll look to finish the season strong and has certainly increased his fantasy draft stock for next season.
