Brewers continue to play William Contreras despite ongoing slump

William Contreras remains in the Milwaukee Brewers' lineup despite a hitless streak extended to 20 at-bats as of August 14. Manager Pat Murphy noted that Contreras has had several hard-hit balls that did not result in hits, leading him to believe sitting the player would not help. Contreras' batting average has fallen sharply, struggling to hit consistently since early July. Other key hitters, including Christian Yelich, are also experiencing slumps, emphasizing the team's ongoing struggles at the plate. The Brewers are looking for Contreras to find his rhythm as they navigate crucial games.
