As the MLB All-Star Game approaches on July 15, five St. Louis Cardinals are showing strong fan support in the early voting updates. Brendan Donovan leads the pack, currently sitting in fourth place among National League second basemen. Despite his impressive performance leading the league in WAR and several batting metrics, he trails behind Ketel Marte, Tommy Edman, and Nico Hoerner, largely due to market size disparities.

Other Cardinals in the mix include Iván Herrera, Willson Contreras, Nolan Arenado, and Masyn Winn, all of whom are in the top 10 for their respective positions. Donovan’s chances of moving forward in the voting hinge on closing the gap with Edman and Hoerner over the next voting rounds.

The MLB Power Rankings highlight an exciting week in baseball, featuring a blockbuster trade that has sent shockwaves through the league. The San Francisco Giants have acquired Rafael Devers from the Boston Red Sox, a move that is set to reshape fantasy values and playoff dynamics in the National League. With Devers joining the Giants, the team solidifies its position as a serious contender.

In player performances, Riley Greene of the Detroit Tigers continues to impress, driving in 49 runs, while the New York Mets grapple with injuries as they enter a crucial stretch against division rivals. The Los Angeles Dodgers welcome back Shohei Ohtani, while the Philadelphia Phillies surge with four straight wins. The Contreras brothers made history, hitting home runs in the same inning as opponents for the first time since 1933.

In a historic moment for Major League Baseball, Willson and William Contreras became the second set of brothers to hit home runs in the same inning as opponents. The milestone occurred during the St. Louis Cardinals' 8-5 victory over the Milwaukee Brewers on Saturday, ending the Cardinals' six-game losing streak. Willson's homer, his ninth of the season, put the Cardinals ahead in the ninth inning, while William followed suit with his sixth homer to lead off the bottom half of the inning.

This remarkable feat marks the first time since the 1933 matchup between Rick and Wes Ferrell that brothers homered in the same inning as rivals. Despite the intense competition, the Contreras brothers maintain a professional approach during games, focusing on winning rather than family ties.

In a historic moment for baseball, brothers Willson and William Contreras both homered in the same inning during the St. Louis Cardinals' 8-5 victory over the Milwaukee Brewers. The ninth inning saw Willson, playing for the Cardinals, hit a solo home run, followed closely by William's homer for the Brewers. This marked the first time in 90 years that brothers have homered as opposing players in the same inning, a feat last accomplished in 1933.

The Contreras brothers' competitive spirit was palpable, as Willson exchanged no words with William as he crossed home plate, despite their familial ties. William, however, remarked on the competition saying that during the game, they are just that—competitors.
