"From the beginning I thought it was a joke because before today they’ve got a really good relationship," Suárez said. "And then he started talking bad words in Spanish. He tried doing something that’s not good for people who speak Spanish and know the statement. I was in the on-deck circle and heard that and it pissed me off.
Rodríguez made a quick exit from the clubhouse after the game and did not speak to reporters. However, he relayed a message through a team spokesperson that he was "shocked" by Neris' comments and didn't believe there was any prior animosity between the two players. Rodríguez and Neris are both from the Dominican Republic and share the same agency. They were teammates on the Dominican Republic's World Baseball Classic team.
Neris struck out Rodríguez to end the sixth inning and Neris spun around let out a yell of celebration and began walking down Rodríguez as he tried to return to the bench. Rodríguez took offense and started to face Neris as the benches and bullpens emptied.
