Overview
- Contreras, hit by a Brandon Woodruff sinker Monday in the third inning, shouted from first and later warned he would take a Brewers player out if it happens again.
- Two pitches after the HBP he slid hard into shortstop David Hamilton on a legal takeout play that clipped Hamilton's leg.
- Brewers players downplayed the flare-up, with Christian Yelich calling the scene nothing new and Woodruff saying Contreras was trying to fire up his team.
- Contreras still starred at the plate with a 3-for-3 night, a walk, a home run, and two RBIs in an 8-6 Red Sox loss.
- Attention now turns to hard-throwing Jacob Misiorowski, who previously hit Contreras with a 101 mph fastball, as the question of intent remains unresolved and league discipline is not reported.
