Summary
Willson Contreras made headlines again—this time getting ejected for the second straight game after a fiery fourth-inning incident. Striking out on a full count, he snapped when Nationals pitcher Cade Cavalli called him “boy,” a term with loaded history, and hurled his helmet in Cavalli’s direction, sparking a benches-clearing brawl. Cavalli, who stayed in the game and struck out 13, claimed Contreras had been provoking him since the first inning. Contreras, who’s been ejected twice in the series and admitted things feel tough lately—especially with Venezuela’s turmoil—said he’d let MLB handle the racial undertones. Red Sox manager Chad Tracy blasted Cavalli’s lack of ejection, making this the first time in 126 years a Red Sox player’s been ejected twice in one series.
