Contreras Vows Retaliation After Brewers Hit

0:00It's April 7th. Welcome in. This is Boston Red Sox News today, where Team Coverage meets AI. Wilson Contreras, the new first baseman for the Boston Red Sox, just got plunded by a pitch from the Milwaukee Brewers for the 24-time-in, his career. That's no small number. It's happened more against them than any other team, stretching back to his days with the Cubs and Cardinals in the National League Central. Over his whole MLB run, Contreras has been hit by pitches 131 times total, with six of those coming from Brewer's starter Brandon, Woodruff alone. Woodruff was on the mound Monday when the latest one grays Contreras' hands in the third inning. Contreras fired up quick, tossing his bat and yelling before sliding hard into second base on a force play. That contact took out short-stop David Hamilton for a moment, and even ripped Contreras' pants, turning the play into a clear statement. He's calling it intentional at this point, saying the pattern feels too deliberate after all those hits. Now he's put the Brewers on notice.

1:01If it happens again, someone's going down. The team's clash again. Tuesday at 6.45pm Eastern, with Contreras leading off against Brewer's prospect, Jacob Missyorowski, expect the heat to carry over.
