Historic Brotherly Feud: Contreras Catchers Smash Rare Homer Duo in Same Inning After 90 Years!
What a thrill it was to witness something you almost never see—brothers not just facing off in a fierce baseball showdown, but both sending the ball out of the park in the very same inning! This past Saturday in Milwaukee, catchers Willson and William Contreras etched their names into baseball’s modern lore by becoming just the second brother duo to accomplish this rare feat. The stage was set during the nail-biting ninth inning where the St. Louis Cardinals surged to an 8-5 victory over the Milwaukee Brewers—breaking their six-game losing streak—thanks in part to Willson’s ninth homer that put the Cards ahead, and William’s immediate answer with his sixth homer stepping up next. You can imagine the electricity in the air, the glances exchanged but words unspoken as Willson rounded first base, locking eyes with the Brewers’ dugout. It’s that delicate dance between family and fierce competition—a tension William acknowledges with a knowing shrug, reminding us that, out on the field, it’s all business, not brotherly embraces.
MILWAUKEE — Catchers Willson and William Contreras became the second pair of brothers to homer in the same inning as opponents in baseball’s modern era on Saturday.
