Butler (2-4) gave up four runs, three earned, six hits and four damaging walks Friday night. It started rough, with a Jimmy Rollins one-out home run in a lengthy first inning. When the Dodgers were walking or putting men all over the bases, they were fouling off pitches and driving up Butler's pitch count -- 83 in the short time.
"I was throwing the ball down, keeping it down," Butler said. "They weren't being called strikes. A couple of guys fouled balls off and there were a couple of long at-bats. It ran up the pitch count real quick.
