Butler went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Wednesday’s 3-2 loss to the Reds.
With a righty on the mound, Butler got the call and started the fireworks early with a towering shot to right field in the first at-bat of the game. Butler is hitting way better since the All-Star break after scuffling for most of the first half (.835 versus .592 OPS) and has an RBI in five of his last eight games.
