MILWAUKEE, WI - September 13, 2025 – The Milwaukee Brewers secured their place in the postseason Friday night, overcoming the St. Louis Cardinals in a thrilling game decided by clutch hitting from a trio of key players: Jackson Chourio, William Contreras, and Andrew Monasterio. The victory sparked a jubilant festivity in the Brewers’ clubhouse, marking a meaningful achievement for the young team.
This postseason berth is a testament to Milwaukee’s resilience and the emergence of young talent. Chourio, who debuted this year after signing a lucrative contract and competing for Rookie of the Year honors, is now experiencing a dream come true with a chance to compete in October. The contributions of Contreras and Monasterio proved pivotal in Friday’s win, solidifying their roles as vital components of the Brewers’ success.
Monasterio Delivers Game-Winning Hit
The decisive moment came in the late innings when Andrew Monasterio delivered a crucial hit against Cardinals reliever Vitico Navalillo, driving in a run with a man on second base. “To be honest, I didn’t try to be the hero at that time,” Monasterio told MLB.com. “I am glad to have done it, but my first thought was: ‘Be based or move the player to Third.Give my team a better chance to win.’ And then I got a hit.” The hit proved to be the most important of his career with the Caracas club.
Contreras Powers the Offence
William Contreras also had a standout performance, going 3-for-2 with three RBIs, including a game-tying RBI single in the ninth inning. Contreras has been a force at the plate recently, boasting a .308/.355/.308 offensive line over the last seven games, despite playing through a fractured bone.
Chourio Celebrates, with Reservations
While the celebration was lively, rookie sensation Jackson Chourio admitted he’s not a fan of champagne. ”The truth is that I don’t like it very much,” Chourio said smiling through translator Daniel de Mondesert. “I tried it and my chest hurts a little.”
Monasterio: Always Ready
monasterio emphasized his commitment to being prepared for any situation. “Everyone knows that I don’t have much time, but I’m always ready,” he said. ”That is my job. Be ready for any time,play in any position. Be ready for anything. I know what my role is and I assume it.”
