The Chicago Cubs were dead for most of the night against the New York Yankees. Aroldis Chapman came in to save the game for New York, but despite having a 4-1 lead, the closer coughed up the lead. Albert Almora Jr. and Javier Baez had RBI-singles and after a walk to Kris Bryant that loaded the bases with two outs, Chapman faced Anthony Rizzo.
Down 4-3, Chapman unleashed a fastball that hit Rizzo directly on the wrist. No clue how Rizzo stayed in the game, but he did.
Anthony Rizzo, tough? Yes.

For those worried, Rizzo has come out to play defense. Throwing the ball around the infield without any apparent issues
