Contreras became the seventh player in Brewers history to have four hits in back-to-back games and the first since Casey McGehee in 2010. Contreras went 4 for 5 with three RBIs — after going 4 for 4 with a homer and four RBIs in a 13-1 victory over the Diamondbacks on Thursday.

Misiorowski left the game after throwing a 98.9 mph fastball to James Wood. Aaron Ashby entered the game and struck out Wood before Luis García Jr. grounded out to end the inning.
