Rizzo reaches into stands to end threat

While Zack Cozart had a chance to do some damage, Cubs first baseman Anthony Rizzo had other plans. On a 1-2 pitch, Cozart popped a ball that looked like it was likely to land in the seats. Running back, Rizzo braced himself against the tarp and leaned into the stands, making the catch at a full extension.

It's the second catch like that for the Cubs in the last week. On June 24 against the Marlins, third baseman Javier Baez leaped into the stands down the third-base line to make a catch.
