So before Kyle Hendricks quickly gave up the lead that Willson Contreras gave him with a two-run homer in the top of the first, Justin Turner of the Los Angeles Dodgers had one of the softest reactions of the baseball season.
A sharp ground ball was hit to David Bote, as the Dodgers had runners at first and third. The Cubs’ rookie made a great play, throwing out Turner at home. Contreras put down the tag, but for some reason Turner wasn’t happy and confronted the Cubs’ catcher.
From the start, Contreras apologized, although all he did was put down a tag, but he knew that no one likes getting hit in the face. But Turner wouldn’t let it go.

No clue what Turner could possibly be mad about. I mean, where else was Contreras supposed to tag him. It’s not his fault that Turner slid late and his face was the first thing Contreras could tag.
Justin Turner, chill out dude.
