Brewers catcher William Contreras ranks second in Major League Baseball with his team-high .359 batting average and ranks in the top five in RBIs. In his second season with Milwaukee, Contreras is on pace to break his career high in home runs and RBIs and comes into this game on a nine-game hitting streak with five multi-hit games in that span including a 3-for-5 day with a triple, home run and four RBIs in Wednesday’s blowout win over the Pirates.
Kyle Tucker leads the majors with 13 home runs for the Astros this season and is three RBIs shy of 400 for his career.
Houston will start right-hander Hunter Brown (0-4, 7.79 ERA) in search of his first win 11 starts dating back to last season. Brown has been victimized by his run support as the Astros have more than three runs in only two of his eight starts.
