Benches clear after Cincinnati Reds pitcher Amir Garrett strikes out Anthony Rizzo

Amir Garrett and Anthony Rizzo certainly have plenty of history against each other, a frequent left-on-left matchup when the Cincinnati Reds play the Chicago Cubs.

When Garrett struck out Rizzo for the second out in the eighth inning Saturday, he shouted at him from the mound and pounded his chest a few times. Rizzo glanced at the mound on his walk back to the dugout, but Rizzo's teammates took exception to it.

Cubs players, particularly Javier Báez, shouted at Garrett from the dugout. Garrett yelled back at Báez and then Báez jumped over the dugout railing as the benches cleared onto the field.
