Rizzo hit a RBI single in the eighth inning to put the Cubs up 2-1 against the Nationals on Monday night. The ball landed between three players to give Rizzo another clutch hit.

After the play, Rizzo screamed, "RESPECT ME! RESPECT ME!" to the crowd. Rizzo said during a postgame interview that he was shocked that Dusty Baker didn't decide to walk him with an open base at first.
