Willson Contreras Ejected, Hits Coach With Bat in Cardinals’ 7-6 Win

Contreras was tossed after arguing a strikeout in St. Louis’ win over Pittsburgh. Crew chief Jordan Baker said he and Oliver Marmol used “vulgar stuff” toward umpire Derek Thomas. While being restrained, Contreras flung his bat, accidentally hitting bench coach Brant Brown. “I apologized to him… I wasn’t looking back. I just threw my bat,” Contreras said after the game.
