1 hour ago1 hr After celebrating in Boston’s dugout, cameras captured a visibly upset Contreras crying — with the veteran first baseman overcome with emotion amid the tragedy playing out in his native Venezuela following a pair of devastating earthquakes last week.The death toll from both earthquakes has surpassed 1,700 as of Monday night, with Contreras raising funds and spreading the word about ways to assist recovery efforts in Venezuela over the last few weeks.“It’s not easy to hide. It’s not easy just to show up and play with everything that’s going on in my country,” Contreras said after Monday’s win. “I wasn’t feeling good the whole day. I was kind of down, sad. And I hit a homer. Of course, I tried to help [spark] my dugout. But the first thing that I said was ‘Venezuela.’ That was the first thing that came out of my mouth."
