Brewers' William Contreras: Powers MIL to 2-0 series lead
Contreras went 3-for-4 with a walk, a solo home run and two additional RBI in Monday's win against the Dodgers in Game 2 of the NLCS.
The 28-year-old continues to wield a hot bat this postseason, as he's batting .391 (9-for-23) with four walks, three homers, five RBI and four runs through six games. Contreras has entrenched himself as the Brewers' No. 3 hitter and has been the engine of the offense thus far in October.

The All-Star catcher did his part to try and eliminate the Friars with a three-hit showing, including a fourth-inning solo home run to start the scoring for Milwaukee. It's been a productive start to the playoffs for Contreras, who has gone 4-for-11 with two walks and two homers through three games.

Brewers' William Contreras: Lifted due to lack of hustle
Brewers manager Pat Murphy said after Thursday's 5-1 win over the Phillies that he removed Contreras for a pinch hitter late because the backstop didn't run out a grounder he could have gotten a hit on, Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
This doesn't figure to have any real implications for Contreras' playing time moving forward, but it sends a message to the clubhouse that a lack of hustle will not be tolerated. Contreras was an All-Star this season -- his third career All-Star selection -- and he has been hot for Milwaukee with an .886 OPS in September entering Thursday's game.

The catcher has been given a couple of full off days down the stretch, and that may continue as the Brewers are running out of things to clinch.

Fresh off driving in six runs during Friday's lopsided victory over Cincinnati, Contreras was back at it again Saturday with another big performance at the plate. The star catcher is on a power surge, going deep in three consecutive games and four of his last six while amassing a staggering 16 RBI already in September. Through 597 plate appearances this year, he's slashing .273/.343/.420 with 17 big flies, 25 doubles, 86 RBI and 79 runs scored.

The star backstop capped the scoring in emphatic fashion, crushing a three-run homer off position player Jose Trevino in the eighth to make it 20-0. The blast was Contreras' 16th of the season. He's gone yard in three of his last five games and is hitting .282 with a .915 OPS across nine games since the beginning of September.
