Chicago Cubs first baseman Anthony Rizzo has struggled this season. He's batting just .163 with three home runs despite knocking in 11 runs. His rough start didn't get any easier on Wednesday thanks to St. Louis Cardinals center fielder Randal Grichuk.

Rizzo drove one to left-center, and while it wasn't hit terribly hard, it had enough to get out of the park. Only, Grichuk had other plans and rose up to rob Rizzo of his fourth homer of the year. 

It was a great play by Grichuk, but Rizzo responded later in the game. He took Carlos Martinez deep in the fourth inning for a solo shot, his fourth homer of the year.
