William Contreras Ends 18-Game Home Run Drought
William Contreras broke an 18-game home run drought Saturday in an 8-5 loss to the St. Louis Cardinals. Contreras, who hadn't homered since May 23, hit a ninth-inning solo shot off right-hander Ryan Helsley for his sixth HR and 31st RBI of the year. He ended the day 1-for-4 with a walk and a strikeout. Unsurprisingly, Contreras' numbers took a noticeable dip during his homer-less skid. The 27-year-old was batting .253/.366/.376 when it began. He's now down to .240/.347/.351 through 285 plate appearances. While Contreras' 2025 production has been a letdown relative to his career output, the two-time All-Star has a valid excuse: He has been playing through a fractured left middle finger that has hampered him at the plate. Contreras has still started in 67 of the Brewers' 72 games in spite of the injury.
