CLEVELAND — Billy Butler had quite an at-bat in the fourth inning Saturday night, starting an argument with Indians catcher Chris Gimenez, blasting a tape-measure home run and incurring the wrath of a stadium full of people.
All within the span of two pitches.
Hey, it added some spice to a 6-3 defeat that otherwise was quite forgettable for the A’s. Butler doesn’t mind taking the heat from a hostile crowd. If he’s agitating the opponents’ fans, at least it means he’s in the game.
Butler has found his name in the A’s lineup quite often lately, and he’s making the most of it.
