Butler went 3-for-5 with a walk in Friday's 7-6 extra-innings win over the Tigers.
Butler wasn't directly involved in any scoring plays, but he did his part to keep the line moving. He's up to a 16-game hitting streak, going 27-for-66 (.409) with eight home runs, six doubles, 14 RBI, 17 runs scored and three stolen bases in that span. The outfielder has emerged as a productive everyday option during his surge. He's at a .270/.325/.526 slash line with 21 home runs, 54 RBI, 56 runs and 13 steals across 108 games this season.
