"The" Butler does it again

September 7, 2009 By admin Leave a Comment

Billy Butler hit two home runs and drove in four RBIs as he carried the Royals on his shoulders to a 6-3 win over the Angels.  The win snapped a nine game losing streak to the AL West leaders and helps the Royals avoid a season sweep by the Halos.

Butler smashed a 442 foot shot to left center that Denny Matthews on the Royals’ radio broadcast said hit the Hall of Fame building.  It was the second longest home run in Kauffman Stadium history, behind Bo Jackson’s 475 foot shot.  That shot came in the fifth inning with Mitch Maier on first base.  Butler then singled in a run in the sixth and then later homered in the eighth, a solo shot that went 390 feet.

Kyle Davies went five innings for the win, his only run allowed was a solo home run from Bobby Abreu.
