Miami Marlins at Milwaukee Brewers

MILWAUKEE – The home run was nice. The three-game sweep was nicer. But it was the bat flip that 36,451 fans may remember most about William Contreras’ walk-off, three-run homer for a 3-1 Brewers win over the Marlins on Sunday at American Family Field. “I’ve got that going 40 feet in the air,” said Garrett Mitchell, who watched from the on-deck circle. “He’s learning how to express himself,” manager Pat Murphy said with a grin. What a time for Milwaukee’s All-Star catcher to express himself. Shut out on a pair of singles through the first eight innings on Sunday, Jackson Chourio led off the bottom of the ninth with a single and Brice Turang walked before Contreras hammered a hanging cutter from Marlins closer Pete Fairbanks and sent his bat flying in the air along with the baseball. “It was the only thing that passed through my mind in the moment,” Contreras said. “Just enjoying the game out there.” HE LAUNCHED THAT BAT INTO ORBIT pic.twitter.com/N0GQuWey2E
