After the Braves tied the game in the ninth with a home run, Cubs closer
Hector Rondon came with an inside pitch to Jeff Francoeur. Words were exchanged between the Cubs catcher
Willson Contreras and Francoeur, and the benches cleared. No punches were thrown, and there were no ejections. The Cubs appeared to be upset because the Braves hit
Kris Bryant twice and
Anthony Rizzo once earlier in the game.
