MLB analyst pleads for mercy after Brewers' Rowdy Tellez continues ruthless HR streak versus the Red Sox

At this stage, we are not quite sure what the Boston Red Sox did to Rowdy Tellez, but he seems to be holding a grudge. The Milwaukee Brewers first baseman continued his stellar form against the Red Sox on Saturday.

Tellez's two-run home run in the third inning against Garrett Whitlock gave Milwaukee a commanding 3-0 lead early on. They eventually went on to win 5-4 to improve to 15-6 on the season and solidify first place in the National League Central.

Boston Red Sox fans may well be sick of seeing the lefty slugger shatter their hearts time and again. Jared Carribis, a well-known MLB podcaster, tweeted an interesting fact. Tellez has hit 14 home runs in 37 games against the Red Sox.

"14 home runs in 37 games against the Red Sox for Rowdy Tellez. Doesn’t even matter if we did anything wrong. Please just apologize anyway. Make it stop," Carrabis tweeted.

Carrabis has a theory on how Boston fans can make the pain stop. If they apologize, Tellez might take it easy on them.

Tellez's tormenting of the Red Sox organization goes all the way back to his days with the Toronto Blue Jays. He recorded his first-ever homer against the club on April 11, 2019, and followed that up with another in June of the same year. Since 2019, he has proceeded to record 12 more home runs against the franchise.

Tellez has been instrumental in the Milwaukee Brewers' red-hot start to the season. He has a .242/.333/.576 slash line and an impressive .909. He has already recorded seven home runs and 17 RBIs on the year.

The Red Sox fought back in this game and were in it till the end. Rafael Devers was their standout player on the night. He finished with two hits, a home run and two RBIs. In the end, Tellez's home run was the difference in a tightly contested battle.

Boston remains in last place in the American League East with an 11-11 record.

In the future, the Red Sox may be wise to just avoid Rowdy Tellez altogether and pitch around him.
