Contreras willingly turns cheers to jeers, leads Cardinals to victory over Cubs in Wrigley return. McGrawDHSports Cubs
Willson Contreras had been pondering what his reception would be when he steps into Wrigley Field wearing a St. Louis Cardinals uniform. Contreras predicted a 50-50 mix of cheers and boos, but it was all positive during a pregame video tribute, followed by a standing ovation when he walked to the plate for the first time in the second inning.
"They were a couple people booing and I love it," Contreras said after the game."I think when you get booed, you're doing something right and that was kind of an extra push I got there. My teammates responded to it. And the Cubs wasted another strong pitching performance. They fell to 10-8 when getting a quality start this season. Stroman's record dropped to 2-3, despite a stellar 2.28 ERA.
"I don't want this to get over-compounded in the media without everyone knowing all the information," Wainwright said."What we did was we sat him down and just poured into him: We love this guy, we're glad he's here, we want him to be our guy. No one's giving up on Willy.
