The two-time Silver Slugger winner currently has a .399 slugging percentage for the season, below the .457 and .466 marks he posted in his 2023 and 2024 award-winning seasons. Contreras trails National League frontrunners Hunter Goodman (.545) and Drake Baldwin (.454) in the Silver Slugger race, though he remains a likely finalist. To win a third Silver Slugger Award and join Brewers legends Robin Yount, Cecil Cooper, and Ryan Braun as franchise players with at least three such awards, Contreras would need an exceptional final month of the regular season.","date_published":"2026-08-30T21:30:19.000Z","authors":[{"name":"Tyler Koerth"}],"tags":["Reviewing the Brew"]},{"id":"https://brewersfeed.com/article/brewers-rangers-highlights-0272088c","url":"https://www.mlb.com/stories/game/823740","external_url":"https://www.mlb.com/stories/game/823740","title":"Brewers-Rangers highlights","content_text":"Read this story at MLB.com Brewers.","date_published":"2026-08-30T20:57:50.000Z","tags":["MLB.com Brewers"]},{"id":"https://brewersfeed.com/article/game-discussion-milwaukee-brewers-85-51-vs-texas-rangers-66-70-994ed15b","url":"https://www.brewcrewball.com/milwaukee-brewers-discussions/88833/game-discussion-milwaukee-brewers-85-51-vs-texas-rangers-66-70","external_url":"https://www.brewcrewball.com/milwaukee-brewers-discussions/88833/game-discussion-milwaukee-brewers-85-51-vs-texas-rangers-66-70","title":"Game Discussion: Milwaukee Brewers (85-51) vs. Texas Rangers (66-70)","content_text":"The Brewers seek to complete a sweep of the Rangers with Dustin May on the mound against Kumar Rocker.
