Tensions boil in Mets-Brewers opening day game after Rhys Hoskins' slide into Jeff McNeil

New York Mets and Milwaukee Brewers players spill onto the field after an incident in the 8th inning.

Tensions were already high in the first game of the season between the New York Mets and the Milwaukee Brewers Friday afternoon.

Brewers shortstop Willy Adames was at bat against Mets pitcher Michael Tonkin in the eighth inning with Rhys Hoskins on first base. 

Adames hit a grounder to third baseman Brett Baty, who threw it over to second baseman Jeff McNeil as the team tried to turn a double play.

Hoskins slid into second base and collided with McNeil, who couldn’t get a good grasp on the ball to turn the double play. With Hoskins on the ground, McNeil began to yell at him. An umpire got in between McNeil and Hoskins, who was slow to get up and then jogged back to the dugout, eventually turning back to the infielder.

Cameras panned to the Brewers' dugout, and players stormed the field. Mets players joined them.

McNeil was hot, and cameras showed Hoskins making a sarcastic face at the infielder.
