Rockies' Eddie Butler: No-decision Saturday versus Giants
Butler didn't factor into the decision in the Rockies' 10-5 loss to the Giants on Saturday. He surrendered four hits, four earned runs, and a walk over five innings, while striking out four.
Analysis:
The 25-year-old had just tossed 2.2 innings of scoreless relief Tuesday, so he technically operated on three days of rest Saturday. The performance marked the third time in five starts that Butler has surrendered at least four earned runs, and the first time in the last four trips to the mound that he issued a free pass. His role appears to be in flux at present, with the possibility of additional starts when there's a need for a fifth member in the rotation.
