Contreras Powers Up, Cardinals Fall Short
by Jesse Garcia | Cardinals Correspondent | Thu, Jul 4th 8:05am EDT
Willson Contreras went 1-for-3 with a home run, a run scored, and two RBI in the Cardinals' 5-4 loss to the Pirates.
Fantasy Impact:
Despite the team's defeat, Contreras's performance was a bright spot as he added a home run to his season tally and drove in two runs. His ability to draw walks, as evidenced by his two in this game, continues to bolster his on-base percentage, making him a valuable asset in fantasy formats that reward this skill. With a solid .387 wOBA, Contreras remains a strong option at catcher in fantasy leagues, especially given his consistent power-hitting ability and decent batting average. His performance in this game should reassure fantasy managers about his reliability and potential impact in their lineups.
