BOSTON — Tensions flared during the Yankees-Red Sox game at Fenway Park when Willson Contreras exchanged words with pitcher Will Warren after a walk, leading to a benches-clearing incident in the fifth inning of a 6-1 Red Sox victory. Contreras, who had already homered and singled earlier, was seen flipping his bat and taunting Warren, but no punches were thrown and no ejections occurred, with both players downplaying the confrontation afterward. Yankees manager Aaron Boone noted Contreras’ tendency to crowd the plate, suggesting that the incident was overblown. The Yankees, struggling with their form, need to focus on improving their performance rather than getting caught up in antics.
