Boston Red Sox<\/a> first baseman Willson Contreras was fired up<\/a> Monday night after being hit by a pitch, yet again, by Milwaukee Brewers starting pitcher Brandon Woodruff.<\/p>\n

The 33-year-old hurler discussed the situation following Milwaukee’s 8-6 win.<\/p>\n

“We\u2019ve been through that — nine years for me. It seems like every year,” Woodruff said<\/a>. “He\u2019s trying to play a game and he\u2019s trying to get his side fired up, which is fine. Once I knew what was going on, I wasn\u2019t going to let it affect me on the mound.”<\/p>\n

The two-time All-Star right-hander drilled Contreras in the third inning<\/a>, which was the sixth time that Woodruff hit the former longtime member of the Chicago Cubs and St. Louis Cardinals with a pitch.<\/p>\n

The Brewers as a team have now plunked Contreras 24 times across his 10-plus MLB seasons.<\/p>\n

“I knew I had a job to do. I knew pitch count was still down,” Woodruff said<\/a>. “I knew the bullpen was short so I needed to go out there and keep competing.”<\/p>\n
