Contreras brothers enjoying being on same All-Star squad

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Willson and William Contreras turned a goal into reality last month when they played on the same major league diamond. On Tuesday night, they'll make an even bigger dream come true when they suit up together in the All-Star Game.

The Contreras brothers will become the fifth siblings to start together in the Midsummer Classic — and they're batting back to back in the National League's lineup.

Willson, the Chicago Cubs catcher, will bat sixth while William, a catcher for the Atlanta Braves, is seventh as the designated hitter.
