The Boston Red Sox lost 7-6 to the Arizona Diamondbacks on Wednesday, but Willson Contreras is getting more headlines than the team's almost-come-from-behind win.
Contreras hit a ground ball to third base as the second batter in extra innings for the Red Sox, trailing by two runs. A run scored on his ground ball, and he was thrown out at first. He was hit with some boos by Red Sox fans for not hustling, and was seen jawing with a fan behind the dugout during the final at-bat of the game and after the game ended as well.
It's safe to ******* ume it had something to do with the play that elicited boos from the Red Sox faithful, but Contreras did not get into specifics.
"He was inviting me to dinner," Contreras said jokingly after the game, per The Boston Globe's Tim Healey. "I was like, 'No, I'm good with that.'"
