Mets throw at Rhys Hoskins after he goes off for three hits, four RBIs

New York Mets relief pitcher Johan Ramirez threw at Milwaukee Brewers designated hitter Rhys Hoskins in the second game of their series on Saturday, after Hoskins had already gone off for three hits, a home run, and four RBIs.

Ramirez was ejected for throwing at Hoskins.

The former Phillie had an RBI hit in his first at-bat after getting booed by Mets fans following Friday's controversial slide and dispute with Mets second baseman Jeff McNeil.

Hoskins and the Brewers won the game 7-6, handing the Mets their second straight loss.

On a potential double play ball in the top of the eighth inning of Friday's game, McNeil fumbled the ball on the transfer when fielding the throw from third, and as the ball fell away from second base, Hoskins came in hard and took out McNeil . As Hoskins lay on the infield dirt, McNeil stood over him, pointing and screaming as the umpires called Hoskins out. Hoskins began running back to the dugout, but turned back and had some words for Francisco Lindor, McNeil, and others as the benches and bullpens emptied.

As McNeil continued to shout at Hoskins, who has a history with the Mets (including a 34 second home run trot that the Mets didn’t love), mimicked McNeil by wiping away fake tears from his face .

The play was reviewed and confirmed to be out after New York challenged for an illegal slide.

After the game, McNeil said Hoskins has had some "questionable" slides into second base before and called the slide, "definitely not OK."

Hoskins said of McNeil, "He just seems to be complaining when things aren't going well."

The Brewers won the game 3-1
