'He's disrespecting us': Benches clear after 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 from the mound and pounded his chest several times. Reds manager David Bell said he thought Garrett was speaking to himself and showing excitement.

The Cubs clearly thought otherwise. Rizzo glanced at the mound on his walk back to the dugout, but Rizzo's teammates, particularly Javier Báez, took exception to it.

Báez shouted at Garrett from the top of the dugout railing.
