Giants vs. Brewers: Public Bettors Love Milwaukee in Finale

Conforto doubles, walks in loss
Michael Conforto went 1-for-3 with a double, walk, RBI, and run scored on Wednesday against the Brewers. The Giants couldn’t do anything against Freddy Peralta, but made Milwaukee sweat after he left the game. Conforto was in the center of that as his double cut the lead to three and then Matt Chapman came to the plate as the tying run after he came around to score. This has been a sneakily hot stretch for Conforto with an .827 OPS over his last 30 games.
Contreras collects two hits, including two-run HR
William Contreras went 2-for-4 with a long two-run homer on Wednesday against the Giants. Contreras crushed his long ball an estimated 435 feet at 112.3 MPH off the bat to put an exclamation point on the Brewers’ five-run fifth inning. It would chase Kyle Harrison from the game and wind up sending Milwaukee to the victory. Contreras went through a major power outage this summer, but this homer was his seventh in August as he looks primed for the last month of the season.
