Contreras connects for three-run homer
William Contreras connected on a three-run homer to help the Brewers to a 4-2 win over the Astros on Saturday. Contreras absolutely shellacked a Justin Verlander offering to center — travelling an estimated 428 feet — to give the Brew Crew a 4-1 lead. The 26-year-old backstop has been sensational in 2024 with seven homers, 37 RBI and an OPS of .990. That’s a star level of offense even before you consider that he’s doing it as a catcher.
Meyers hits solo home run in loss
Jake Meyers hit a solo homer in a loss to the Brewers on Saturday. Meyers got the Astros to within a run with a solo homer in the fifth off of Bryse Wilson. The outfielder also singled twice for a three-hit game, and it bumps his average up to .286. He’s quietly put together a strong first third of the season even while the Astros have disappointed collectively.
