Contreras Predicts Retaliation After Hit-by-Pitch

0:00On April 7th, the Boston Red Sox are off to a rough start, sitting at two wins and eight losses after dropping Monday's game to the Milwaukee Brewers. Catcher Wilson Contreras took center stage when Brewers pitcher Brandon Woodruff plundered him with a 92.9 mile per hour sinker in the third inning. Contreras has a long history with Milwaukee, facing them more than any other team across his ten seasons with the Cubs and Cardinals. This marked the sixth time Woodruff hit him personally, and the 24th time the Brewers have done it overall. He's seen Woodruff in 29 played appearances, his fifth most against any pitcher. After the hit by pitch, which survived a challenge, Contreras exchanged words with Woodruff heading to first. Postgame, he admitted he predicted it, even warning teammates like Andrew Monasterio and Sedan Rafaella that Milwaukee would be in him that day. The bad blood isn't cooling off. Contreras fired a clear warning to the Brewers afterward, hinting at retaliation. Tonight's matchup features Jacob Missierowski on the mound for Milwaukee, whose fastball can top triple digits so tensions could boil over if history.
