The incident stemmed from a play in the bottom of the third, when Caleb Durbin collided with Contreras as he tried to beat out a groundball.

To support his teammate, Rhys Hoskins voiced his displeasure loudly from the bench. In a postgame interview, Contreras was asked about the incident, and his fiery NSFW response went viral on social media. While Willson Contreras never named the player, it was evident that he was taking a jibe at Rhys Hoskins.
