CHICAGO -- After Dan Haren hit the Cardinals' Matt Holliday in the helmet with a pitch in the fifth inning of Friday's 8-3 win, he immediately apologized to his Cubs teammate Anthony Rizzo. Haren felt the Cardinals would retaliate, and that Rizzo would be targeted. He was right, and the incident upset Cubs manager Joe Maddon.
Home-plate umpire Dan Bellino had warned both teams after Holliday was hit, but St. Louis' Matt Belisle plunked Rizzo with a pitch in the seventh inning, and he was ejected along with Cardinals manager Mike Matheny.
