After Kirk Nieuwenhuis walked to lead off the bottom of the 5th, Hernan Perez doubled into the left field corner to drive in the Brewers’ second run. That’s what the box score will tell you. What it won’t tell you is that Willson Contreras almost pegged the runner trying to score.
Playing in left, the displaced catcher had to play the ball on a carom off the wall. He took a Heyward-esque angle on it, moving forward and to his right to barehand the ball and step into the throw. Nieuwenhuis was rounding third and heading for home by this point, so the play wasn’t even close.
