Washington Nationals pitcher Cade Cavalli had something to say after striking out Boston Red Sox first baseman Willson Contreras Tuesday night.
The result was both teams clearing their benches, Contreras throwing his helmet and multiple ejections.
The incident took place in the bottom of the fourth inning of Tuesday' game at Fenway Park. Cavalli struck Contreras out looking and immediately had something to say to the Boston first baseman.
Contreras, who'd started his walk to the dugout, looked immediately back at Cavalli and appeared to ask if Cavalli was talking to him. The two then walked directly toward each other, and both dugouts and bullpens cleared.
Pushing and shoving ensued on the infield as Red Sox catcher Carlos Narvaez tried to hold Contreras back. But something else sparked Contreras to sprint toward the swarm of players.
