Athletics' Lawrence Butler: Stays hot in blowout win
Butler went 2-for-4 with three runs scored, two walks and one steal in Thursday's 14-3 victory over the Twins.
Butler didn't drive in a run, but he extended his hot streak in Thursday's lopsided win. The 24-year-old has been on a tear lately, slashing .383/.464/.700 with 12 extra-base hits in his past 15 games. Sporting a .805 OPS on the season, the right fielder has been a major bright spot atop the lineup for a struggling Athletics team.

Athletics' Lawrence Butler: 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.
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.

Athletics' Lawrence Butler: 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.
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.

Athletics' Lawrence Butler: 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.
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.

With Butler sitting, Seth Brown is getting the start in right field and batting sixth, while Jacob Wilson moves up to the leadoff spot.

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.
