Cubs manager Joe Maddon unleashed a tirade directed at the Cardinals on Friday after Anthony Rizzo was hit by a pitch in the seventh inning of the team's 8-3 win.

The Cubs believe Cardinals reliever Matt Belisle intentionally threw at Rizzo in retaliation for St. Louis outfielder Matt Holliday being hit by a pitch on the helmet in the fifth inning. Rizzo was hit on the leg by Belisle, who was ejected along with Cardinals manager Mike Matheny.
