Brawl Breaks Out at Fenway After White Pitcher Tells Venezuelan Batter, ‘Sit Down, Boy!’

There was drama at Fenway Park on Tuesday after a Washington Nationals pitcher jawed at Boston Red Sox first baseman Willson Contreras, calling him “boy.”

In the bottom of the fourth inning, Cade Cavalli struck out Contreras looking on a 3-2 pitch. Contreras took a couple of steps toward the Red Sox dugout on the first base side, but suddenly turned to Cavalli after the pitcher, a white man from Oklahoma, was heard yelling at Contreras, a Venezuelan immigrant, “Sit down, boy!”
