After taking a 96 mph Brandon Woodruff sinker off the hand Tuesday night, Willson Contreras has been hit by three pitches in five games against the Brewers this season and has worn six pitches in the last 12 games against them. Tempers flared and benches cleared when Contreras had a few words for Brad Boxberger back at Wrigley when he was hit on the arm a day after taking one to the head.
This time, however, the catcher let his bat do the talking.
With his team trailing by a run and one man on with one out, Contreras walloped a 2-1 fastball that Brent Suter grooved middle-middle.
