Athletics' Lawrence Butler: Goes deep again Tuesday

Butler went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 3-2 win over the Mariners.

Butler's lone hit of the night was a first-inning solo blast to center off Luis Castillo. That hit made it eight consecutive games with an extra-base hit and he's now rocking a 13-game hit streak during which he's totaled 22 hits, eight home runs, five doubles and 14 RBI. For the year, the 24-year-old is slashing .265/.319/.527 with 21 homers, 54 RBI, 54 runs, 13 steals and a 28:84 BB:K in 364 plate appearances.
