All sorts of controversy surrounded the San Diego Padres and the Chicago Cubs as they played their second of three games at Wrigley Field on Tuesday night. The uneasiness was caused by Anthony Rizzo‘s illegal slide the previous night into catcher Austin Hedges, injuring him and violating MLB rules in the process.
While the Padres took the high road and did not retaliate against Rizzo by any means, they weren’t able to come away with any sort of revenge in the form of a victory. In fact, with Rizzo leading off the bottom of the first with a home run, the night went poorly from the very beginning.
