Crew can't capitalize on Contreras' early homer TORONTO -- For one half-inning, it seemed like the Brewers’ offense had turned it around. Milwaukee jumped to a two-run lead in the top of t...
Swats sixth homer Contreras went 1-for-2 with two walks and a two-run home run in Tuesday's 7-2 loss to the Blue Jays.
Impact The 25-year-old gave the Brewers a 2-0 lead in the top of the first inning by taking Yusei Kikuchi deep, but it was all the offense Milwaukee could muster. Contreras is up to six homers on the season, but half of them have come in his last six starts -- a stretch in which he's gone 6-for-20 (.300) with seven RBI.

Heads to bench Saturday Contreras is not in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Giants.
Impact Contreras just had a day off Thursday, so it's a little surprising to see him sit again in favor of Victor Caratini. He's been in a bad way at the plate in recent weeks (.140/.260/.302 over his last 12 games), so perhaps manager Craig Counsell is simply trying to get his young catcher going again with some extra rest.

Homers, strikes out twice Contreras went 2-for-5 with a two-run home run in Sunday's win over the Rays.
Impact Contreras clubbed a monster 427-foot two-run home run in the fifth frame off Cooper Criswell as part of a four-run inning for the Brewers. However, the 25-year-old struck out twice Sunday, reaching that mark for the third time in his last four appearances. After slashing .278/.354/.506 with 20 homers with Atlanta last season, Contreras has touted a quieter .252/.342.405 slash line with four long balls across 36 games in 2023.

Heads to bench Contreras will sit Saturday against the Rays.
Impact Contreras will get a rest after starting seven of the last eight games. His numbers have taken a hit from his .278/.354/.506 line last season, but his .246/.340/.381 triple-slash in his first year as a Brewer is still perfectly acceptable for a catcher. Victor Caratini starts behind the plate in his absence.

Impact Contreras opened the scoring in the second inning with his blast off Ross Stripling. This was Contreras' first multi-hit effort since April 24 -- he'd gone 4-for-27 over eight games prior to Sunday's breakout.
