Contreras Sets Record with 24 HBPs vs Brewers

0:00On April 7th Wilson Contreras, the Boston Red Sox slugger and brother of Milwaukee Brewer's catcher, William Contreras, just got hit by his 24th pitch from a Brewer's hurler. That sets a big league record against one team. Don Baylor had 19. It happened Monday, April 6th at Fenway Park when Brandon Woodress pitch grazed him in the third inning during an 8-6 Brewer's win. Woodruff alone has plunked him six times now. This has faced the Brewer's in 121 games, 4th most among active players. He ranks second overall in hit by pitches league-wide and crowds the plate. But his rate spikes against Milwaukee 1, often 9 for 5 plate. Appearances vs. 1 every 36 elsewhere. Contreras was heated, yelling toward the mound as he took first, though the Brewer's challenge the call, and it stood. Tensions run deep. He's vented frustration before, calling out their pitching command, and there have been benches clearing, jawing, even a suspension.

1:00After one dust up, Brewer's insists it's unintentional, just competitive fire. Over the years, pitchers like Devon Williams, Freddie Peralta, and Chase Anderson have caught him from elbows to helmets in high-leverage spots. Some led to rallies or wins for a squad. Others sparked extra drama, like stair downs or post-game shade. His Brewer's Contreras saga keeps the rivalry buzzing, especially with family ties in the mix, proving divisional beefs hit harder when bloods, involved, team coverage, powered by AI. This is Milwaukee Brewer's news today. I'm Cory with the story.
