Butler settled down after allowing a run in the first inning and hurled five shutout innings to finish what was statistically his most effective start of the season. He needed just 78 pitches to dispatch the Phillies in a six-inning, four-hit, one-run performance that brought the rookie to 3-5 and dropped his ERA from 4.60 to 4.22.
The Rockies homered three times for the second straight night, scoring their first three runs via home runs from Nolan Arenado, Michael McKenry and Ben Paulsen.
