A benches-clearing incident occurred during the Red Sox-Nationals game after Nationals catcher Willson Contreras took exception to pitcher Cade Cavalli's reaction following a strikeout. Contreras charged the mound and threw his helmet at Cavalli, prompting both benches to empty. The confrontation stemmed from Cavalli allegedly yelling toward Contreras after recording the out.
