José Butto’s final line with read 6.1 innings, six hits, two runs, one walk, and six strikeouts, but he earned a very hard luck no-decision in this one. Through the first six innings, he allowed just two Washington Nationals to reach scoring position, and one of which was after a CJ Abrams steal of second — which is hardly his fault, especially in 2023 baseball.
Buck Showalter, rightfully, allowed him to start the seventh, but it ended up backfiring. Singles by old friend Dominic Smith and Jake Alu put runners on first and third with one out, ending Butto’s excellent day on a sour note.
