The Milwaukee Brewers they closed a score of 4-0 for the Chicago Dogs, to reduce a series of three losses. Both benches were cleared when veteran reliever and newcomer to the big team, Brad Boxberger, hit Venezuelan catcher Willson Contreras with a pitch in the beginning of the ninth at Wrigley Field.
Contreras, who had already hit a ball in the helmet on Monday, started screaming and headed for the hill, but his teammates brought him to the initial. The bullpens were also emptied and reached the zafarrancho area:
There was no out on the scoreboard, and the score was 1-1 when Boxberger threw a 94 mph fastball over Willson’s humanity, who is already temperamental and ephemeral. Boxbeger was not deterred by Contreras’ gestures and showed seriousness in the matter by not allowing himself to be provoked.
The ball hit between the elbow and shoulder of Contreras, who for a change went 2-0 with a walk and left on base, leaving his average behind at a meager .071, the product of a measly goal of the season.
