Crushes leadoff home run
Butler went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 3-2 loss to the Reds.
Analyse
With a righty on the mound, Butler batted leadoff 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 OPS versus .592, respectively) and has an RBI in five of his last eight games. Even with that improved run production, he hasn't driven in multiple runs in a game since June 10, a span of 45 games.

Tallies two doubles Thursday
Butler went 2-for-4 with two doubles, an RBI and two runs scored in Thursday's 5-4 loss to the Red Sox.
Analyse
The outfielder has logged multiple hits in back-to-back games and has shown signs of life at the plate since the All-Star break, going 10-for-33 (.303) with six extra-base hits, six RBI and seven runs across 13 contests. It would be a welcome development for the Athletics if the 26-year-old is able to turn things around in what has been a disappointing campaign. Overall, Butler is slashing .209/.309/.330 with six homers, 28 RBI, 38 runs and six stolen bases over 101 games.
