Contreras Vows Retaliation After Brewers Pitch

0:00It's April 7th. You're listening to Boston Red Sox News today, AI-powered coverage of your team. I'm Corey with the story. Boston Red Sox First Basement Wilson Contreras is firing warnings at the Milwaukee Brewers after getting hit on the hand by a pitch from pitcher. Brandon Woodruff on Monday night. The Brewers took the win 8-6th in Wave Park, but Contreras made it clear he's tired of the plunkings. He said next time it happens, he'll take one of their guys out as a message. This has a long history here, plunked 131 times in his major league career, with 24 of those coming from the. Brewers 10 more than any other team. He's been nailed 6 times by Woodruff alone, going back 9 years when he faced them often in the National League Central with the Cubs and Cardinals before his offseason trade to Boston. Tensions bowled over quick. Contreras yelled from first base, then slid hard into second on a force play, spiking shortstop David Hamilton's knee and ripping his pants.

1:00Woodruff shrugged it off, saying it's just Contreras firing up his squad. Even his younger brother William, the Brewers catcher that night, tried calming him down on the walk to first, but admitted big bro plays with fire. Contreras still balled out, ripping a solo homer in the ninth, reaching base 5 times, and flipping his bat after a first inning walk 2. William challenged a close pitch to his brother behind the plate, but it stood. With two games left in their 3 games set, this rivalry feels primed to heat up even more.
