Slugs homer in defeat Butler went 2-for-2 with a three-run home run, an additional run, a double and three walks in Monday's loss to the Twins.
Impact Minnesota jumped out to a six-run lead through two innings, but Butler made a game of it when he launched a three-run blast off Joe Ryan in the fourth inning. The outfielder rounded out a big performance by reaching base in all five of his plate appearances and finished with his third multi-hit effort over his past four games. Butler was batting a paltry .224 through May 16, but he's lifted his average to .260 with a 15-game surge during which he's batted .368 with three homers, 11 RBI, 12 runs and three stolen bases.

Swats three-run homer Butler went 1-for-5 with a three-run home run and a stolen base in a loss to the Angels on Wednesday.
Impact Butler gave the A's an early lead with a three-run homer in the second inning, but Los Angeles ended up winning handily. The long ball gave Butler a five-game hitting streak, and he's collected four extra-base hits (three doubles and Wednesday's homer), five RBI and two stolen bases during that span. The strong stretch could be an indication that Butler's bat is coming around, and he's been quite useful in fantasy with seven home runs and eight thefts on the campaign, but his OPS still stands at .700 -- over 100 points lower than the .807 mark he finished with last year.

Swipes bag in loss Butler went 1-for-4 with a double, a walk, a stolen base and a run scored in Monday's 4-3 loss to the Angels.
Impact Butler's bat is starting to come around again, as he's gone 3-for-10 with two doubles over his last three games. The outfielder briefly ceded the leadoff spot to Jacob Wilson, but Butler's been back atop the lineup in each of the last two contests, though it's possible the two players are fairly interchangeable in that role. Butler is up to seven steals on eight attempts while adding six home runs, 18 RBI, 21 runs scored, 11 doubles and a .228/.294/.389 slash line over 45 games this season.

Knocks grand slam in victory Butler went 2-for-5 with a grand slam in Wednesday's 7-1 win over the Rangers.

Butler plated four of those runs with a 411-foot grand slam off Shawn Armstrong. The blast was Butler's second hit of the game, marking his first multi-hit effort over his past 11 contests. He had been slumping coming into Wednesday but still holds a tolerable .254/.328/.432 slash line on the campaign.
