Padres manager accuses Anthony Rizzo of ‘cheap shot’ during home-plate collision

The Padres aren’t too happy with Anthony Rizzo after a rough collision at home plate in the Cubs’ 3-2 win on Monday night.

Rizzo, who tripled to lead off the sixth inning, tried to score when Kris Bryant lined out to center fielder Matt Szczur. Rizzo was thrown out, but at least one person in the San Diego dugout didn’t appreciate the way Rizzo crashed into catcher Austin Hedges.

Hedges somehow held on to the ball, though he exited the game in the seventh inning with a bruised thigh.
