Reds' Tommy Pham: Luke Voit Slide That Injured Tyler Stephenson 'Dirty as F--k'

Cincinnati Reds outfielder Tommy Pham was none too happy with Luke Voit's slide into home plate that left Reds catcher Tyler Stephenson with a concussion.

As Voit was sliding, the San Diego Padres designated hitter had his hands up and made contact with Stephenson's head.

"The way his hands hit him, it was dirty as f--k," Pham told reporters after Cincinnati's 6-2 defeat Tuesday at Petco Park. "I don't like it at all. The way [Voit's] hands hit [Stephenson] in the face, it was dirty."

Stephenson is headed for the seven-day concussion injured list as a result of the collision.
