Rhys Hoskins drove in four runs, a day after his hard slide into Jeff McNeil caused dugouts to empty, and Yohan Ramirez was ejected for throwing behind the Milwaukee designated hitter’s back in the Brewers‘ 7-6 victory over the New York Mets on Saturday.
Rhys Hoskins drove in four runs, a day after his hard slide into Jeff McNeil caused dugouts to empty, and Yohan Ramirez was ejected for throwing behind the Milwaukee designated hitter’s back in the Brewers‘ 7-6 victory over the New York Mets on Saturday.
Hoskins hit a two-run single in a three-run first inning, followed with a two-run homer in the third, and singled in the fifth and scored on a balk by Luis Severino (0-1), who gave up a career-high 12 hits in his Mets debut.
Ramirez’s first pitch to Hoskins in the seventh sailed well behind the right-handed hitter, who dropped his bat and glared at Ramirez as the reliever raced to pick up the ball, which caromed off the backstop. Ramirez was ejected by plate umpire Lance Barrett and given a standing ovation by fans. Hoskins walked against Jorge Lopez.
„I was trying to tell the umpire that I was trying to throw my sinker and it just happened to go further in, especially with the weather the way that it was“ Ramirez said after the loss through his translator.
