An emotional night at Fenway Park saw Red Sox<\/a> star Willson Contreras go from tears over the devastation in Venezuela to a controversial ejection Monday during the Red Sox’s 6-3 win over the Nationals.<\/p>\n

Contreras, whose home country was rocked by earthquakes Wednesday, crushed a 421-foot, three-run homer off Nationals right-hander Miles Mikolas into the left-center field seats in the first inning.<\/p>\n

As Contreras rounded the bases, he flipped his bat, slapped the top of his helmet with both hands and shouted, “Venezuela,” toward the Red Sox dugout.<\/p>\n

In the dugout, Contreras broke down as teammates and coaches embraced him.<\/p>\n

After striking out on a check swing in the second inning, first-base umpire Nic Lentz ruled Contreras had gone around.<\/p>\n

Walking back to the dugout, Contreras silently tapped the top of his helmet, gesturing for an ABS challenge<\/a>. But Lentz immediately ejected Contreras after the helmet tap.<\/p>\n

WATCH<\/strong>:<\/p>\n

Interim manager Chad Tracy<\/a> rushed out to argue the call but couldn’t get the decision overturned.<\/p>\n

The decision was lambasted by the NESN broadcast, where Red Sox analyst Will Middlebrooks cursed the ejection during the<\/a> telecast.<\/p>\n

“Are you kidding me? How soft are we getting?” Middlebrooks said, calling the ejection an “absolute joke” and “embarrassing to the game.”<\/p>\n

“The game needs the best players on the field. This is an entertainment business. It is for the fans. What are you doing? You are gonna throw a guy out of the game for that?”<\/p>\n

Contreras said before Monday’s game: “It is really sad to live through this. It is really hard to separate or fake that we are good just because we have to work.”<\/p>\n

“We are professionals. We have to show up and work. But it is really tough when you know what is going on in Venezuela … trying to perform, and at the same time trying to seek ways to help.”<\/p>\n

Boston held on for the 6-3 victory behind Contreras’ three-run homer and a home run from Caleb Durbin<\/a>, but his controversial ejection was the focus of the game.<\/p>\n
