Red Sox 1B Willson Contreras tossed for a 2nd straight game as benches clear against Nationals

Boston Red Sox first baseman Willson Contreras was ejected for the second consecutive game after throwing his helmet toward Washington Nationals pitcher Cade Cavalli during a heated exchange that led to benches clearing and multiple ejections. The incident followed Contreras' three-run homer and bat flip the previous day and marked the first time a Red Sox player has been ejected in back-to-back games in the team's 126-year history.
