NEW YORK -- Even on a new team in a different division, it took all of one game for Rhys Hoskins to rile up the New York Mets.
Tempers flared Friday during the season opener at Citi Field when the Milwaukee Brewers' newcomer -- who agitated the Mets during his days with the NL East rival Phillies -- slid hard into second baseman Jeff McNeil on a potential double-play ball in the eighth inning.
"Just a late slide. We've had a little bit of a past, so I knew there was a chance that he'd be coming in like that," McNeil said after Milwaukee's 3-1 victory.
