Both Willson Contreras and Rhys Hoskins were hit by pitches and tempers flared, but a three-run home run by St. Louis' Nolan Gorman loomed large.

A collision at first base led to a spat between the Cardinals vet and a Brewers player — and a fiery postgame rant.

While Willson Contreras never named the player, it was evident that he was taking a jibe at Rhys Hoskins.
