During a game against the Minnesota Twins at Fenway Park, Willson Contreras sparked another benches-clearing incident in the sixth inning. After attempting to score from first base on a hit by Ceddanne Rafaela, Contreras collided with catcher Victor Caratini, who held onto the ball for the out. Following the collision, Contreras and Caratini exchanged words, prompting both teams to clear their benches, though no physical altercations occurred. Contreras, who was traded to the Boston Red Sox from the St. Louis Cardinals in December, is known for his fiery temperament on the field. Earlier in the season, he had a verbal exchange with Brewers pitcher Brandon Woodruff after being hit by a pitch, warning that he would retaliate if it happened again. This incident adds to a series of confrontations for Contreras, including a previous ejection for a tirade against an umpire and a dugout-clearing event after being hit by a pitch from the Padres' Nick Pivetta.
