Anthony Rizzo hit another leadoff home run to help Mike Montgomery get his first win of the season in the Chicago Cubs' 4-0 victory over the San Diego Padres on Tuesday night.
Some thought the Padres might throw at Anthony Rizzo after his Monday slide knocked Austin Hedges from the game and MLB official Joe Torre told Rizzo the slide violated the home plate collision rules. Well, in the bottom of the first, the Padres pitched to Rizzo -- you can't really throw at the leadoff guy -- and he homered to give the Cubs a 1-0 lead.
Anthony Rizzo said he spoke with Joe Torre, MLB's chief baseball officer, who told him he would not be disciplined despite being in violation of Rule 7.13, which the sport introduced in 2014 to protect catchers from such collisions.

The Padres and Pirates were among the teams that loaded up on high-end prospects, but picking Hunter Greene was key to a great draft for the Reds.
Eric Thames hit the Brewers' first walk-off home run of the season in the bottom of the 10th inning, lifting Milwaukee to a 6-5 victory over the San Diego Padres on Friday night.
For those who thought what San Diego's Wil Myers provided statistically last year was a fluke he's doing it again. Myers hit his 13th homer tonight and while the stolen base rate is down a bit, don't be shocked if there's another run at 30/30. The Padres have been more productive of late with Jose Pirela and Franchy Cordero at the top of the order getting on base and that aids Myers too. Myers was a top-50 player last year and should be again.

Buster Olney recaps all of Wednesday's MLB action, including the emergence of a young Padres star, concern over Matt Harvey, a big game for Mookie Betts and more.
Hunter Renfroe's 14th home run puts him on a 34-homer seasonal pace, which would give him the third-best single-year total by any San Diego Padres hitter in the Petco Park era (2004 forward), behind only Adrian Gonzalez's 40 in 2009 and 36 in 2008. Renfroe is certainly a valuable power source, even on a bad offense and in a below-average park for power, but he's offering mainly situational value in fantasy — even if it's pretty good in those spots. He's slashing an astonishing .323/.417/.645 with an 85 percent contact rate against lefties, so keep using him in every game against a lefty starter. He'll need to improve his contact rate against righties — currently 65 percent — to truly arrive on the shallow-mixed radar.
