Isotopes stunned by Butler's sudden implosion

Right-hander goes from throwing a no-hitter to giving up six runs in the sixth inning

Eddie Butler was brilliant for five innings on Thursday afternoon for the Albuquerque Isotopes.

Then came a truly spectacular, horrific implosion, the kind that can either serve as a great lesson or could end up being the beginning of the end.

That will be up to Butler, but if he was wondering how others viewed the start, his manager did not mince any words.

“Eddie caused the wheels to come off,” Glenallen Hill said after the Sounds beat the Isotopes 8-4 to split the series.
