It was a tough night for Boston Red Sox first baseman Willson Contreras on Tuesday.
In fact, it was his second straight tough night.
Contreras was ejected from the Red Sox's series opener against the Washington Nationals on Monday for tapping his helmet after being called out on a check swing in the second inning. On Tuesday, Contreras was ejected once again. He struck out in the fourth inning and as he was walking back to the dugout, you could hear Nationals pitcher Cade Cavalli yell, "Sit down, boy." Contreras didn't take kindly to that and charged the mound. The benches cleared afterward and Contreras, Nate Eaton, Red Sox interim manager Chad Tracy and Nationals pitcher Miles Mikolas were all thrown out. Cavalli was not.

After the ejection, Contreras clearly was still seeing red. Before the contest even ended, Contreras responded to a negative comment on Instagram and told a fan to meet him at Fenway Park.

Contreras certainly wears his heart on his sleeve. On Tuesday, he certainly showed that to Cavalli and the fan on social media.
