Willson Contreras Picks Up Two Hits in Win Tuesday
7 years agoChicago Cubs catcher Willson Contreras went 2-for-4 with a walk, RBI and run scored in a 9-4 win against the Dodgers. Contreras got Monday off since he has been hit hard by a June swoon. His slash line for the month is at .269/.355/.343 and is not too far off of his season totals except for the low slugging percentage. Contreras homered Sunday and doubled Saturday, which were just his second and third extra-base hits of the month. Contreras' value as a catcher came a lot from his power potential - .499 slugging percentage and 21 home runs in 377 at-bats in 2017 - but he has been limited to just a .427 slugging percentage with only five home runs and just 25 RBI in 246 at-bats so far in 2018.
