Willson Contreras blasted a mammoth game-tying home run in Saturday’s loss to the Brewers, standing and admiring the shot – which measured in just shy of 470 feet. But it wasn’t enough, with the Chicago Cubs dropping an 11th consecutive matchup with Milwaukee.
The home run was Contreras’ 20th of the year, marking the third time in six big league campaigns he’s eclipsed the mark – including 2017 and 2019. While he hasn’t been the same offensive threat he’s been in the past, the Cubs catcher has shown continued improvement behind the plate again this year, cementing his place among the top tier of catchers in the league.
