Mets pitcher ejected for throwing behind Brewers' Rhys Hoskins a day after heated exchange

The grudge match between Rhys Hoskins and the New York Mets continued during Saturday's matchup with the Milwaukee Brewers. Tempers flared during Friday's season opener when Mets infielder Jeff McNeil objected to Hoskins sliding hard into him at second base. Both benches cleared as McNeil and Hoskins yelled at each other.

On Saturday, the Brewers designated hitter had an emphatic response to the dust-up, getting hits in his first three at-bats with a home run and four RBI.

Rubbing it in after that third-inning homer, Hoskins repeated the "crybaby" gesture that he directed at McNeil on Friday when he returned to the Milwaukee dugout.
