The Milwaukee Brewers and Boston Red Sox got heated on Monday night after Willson Contreras was hit by a pitch in the third inning by Brandon Woodruff.

Contreras has been hit by the Brewers 24 times in his career, and six times by Woodruff. He took exception to the pitch and had some words for Woodruff during the game. After the game, he sent an unmistakable threat to Brewers players.

โ€œThey always say, โ€˜Iโ€™m not trying to hit you. โ€™ That gets old,โ€ Contreras said. โ€œSo next time they hit me again, Iโ€™m going to take one of them out.

Thatโ€™s the message. โ€ โ€œI took exception with it, the 24th time. Itโ€™s not a coincidence,โ€ he said after the game.
