The incident carried weight beyond a single pitch. Willson Contreras made his frustration clear the moment he reached first base. His body language said enough, and it felt personal. Moreover, the moment carried added weight given the history between the veteran slugger and the Brewers' pitching staff. After the game, Contreras revealed he has now been hit 24 times by Milwaukee pitchers in his career. As a result, that pattern has clearly fueled frustration. And this was only the first of a three-game set.
