Contreras' Feud with Brewers Escalates

On April 7th, Wilson Contreras cannot catch a break against the Milwaukee Brewers.

On April 6th at Fenway Park, the Boston Red Sox First Basement got plunged by a sinker from

Brewers pitcher Brandon Woodruff in the third inning. Contreras slammed his bat, jawed at the

mound and jogged to first while fired up. Despite the drama, Milwaukee pulled out an 8-6 win over

Boston. This view goes way back. It's the 24th time the Brewers have hit Contreras in just

121 games against him and the sixth time Woodruff has done it. Contreras, a 33-year-old veteran,

sees it as on-purpose, especially from his cubs, days under old rivalries. Both sides fired back

after the game. Contreras vented that the excuses get old and warned he'd take someone out next time.

Brewers players like Christian Yelich caught at the same old routine they've seen for a decade,

blaming Contreras crowding the plate he ranked second. Among active guys and hit by pitches,

his brother William, the Brewers catcher, tried calming him down but picked his team on the field.

Contreras stayed hot at the plate, ripping hits in his next three-ad bats, including a massive

solo homer in the ninth. But Milwaukee rallied late with clutch hitting from Garrett Mitchell to

seal the victory on a chilly night with a short bullpen. Tension simmered between these squads,

brothers divided by uniforms, with history this deep, expect fireworks whenever they clash again.
