Contreras went 2-for-4 with two solo home runs in Friday's 3-2 win over the Cardinals.

He nearly cost the Cubs the lead in the ninth inning, dropping strike three to Kolten Wong on what would have been the final out of the game and then throwing the ball away to allow Randal Grichuk to score from second, but Wade Davis bailed him out with one more whiff. Contreras is hitting just .228/.297/.406 on the season, but his four homers and 15 RBI through 31 games are in line with expectations and Friday's performance may be a sign he's finding his rhythm at the plate.
