After 24th career HBP, Willson Contreras tells Brewers he'll take action next time

BOSTON — After Monday night’s game, Boston Red Sox first baseman Willson Contreras, who wore his 24th career hit-by-pitch by the Milwaukee, issued a warning to the Brewers for the rest of the series: Watch out.“It’s not just the hit by pitch, it’s the 24th pitch they’ve hit me in my career — 24th,” said Contreras after Boston’s 8-6 loss. “That’s the sixth time (Woodruff) has hit me and they always say ‘I’m not trying to hit you.’ That gets old. So next time they hit me again, I’m going to take one of them out. That’s the message.”Advertisement
