Wild Bill is carrying the Brewers

William Contreras has emerged as the Brewers' offensive catalyst in the postseason after struggling earlier in the season. Following a brutal July-August slump, Contreras hit .321/.384/.557 over the final six weeks of the regular season and has continued that success in the playoffs, going 6-for-16 with two homers against the Padres and delivering a crucial 3-for-4 performance with three go-ahead hits in Monday's NLCS victory over the Dodgers. His three run-scoring hits in that game made him only the fourth player ever to accomplish that feat in a postseason game. With the Brewers leading the NLCS 2-0, Contreras's hot bat has been instrumental in their early postseason success.
