CHICAGO -- Chicago Cubs first baseman Anthony Rizzo showed again why he's a Gold Glove candidate and one of the most acrobatic first-baggers around with a ridiculous play during the second game of Tuesday's doubleheader against Milwaukee.

With one out in the fifth, the Brewers' Keon Broxton lofted a pop foul near the visiting team's dugout. Rizzo raced over, dodged the rolled-up tarp, hopped on top of the brick wall and lunged with his glove to snap the ball away from an out-reaching fan.

“I feel like I do a good job on a foul ball of just getting to the spot,” Rizzo said. “I looked up and the ball was still pretty high, so I had time to get over there and make the play. I was surprised that I caught it, to be honest.”

Rizzo, who made a similar play last season when he hopped over the tarp and ended up in the seats, smiled as he trotted back to his position. After the play, a chant of "MVP! MVP!" broke out briefly at Wrigley Field.

“That’s twice now. It was unbelievable,” said Cubs starter Jason Hammel, who was on the mound when Rizzo made his on-the-wall play last season too. “I remember the last play like it was yesterday, and that one was even better.”

Gold Glove talk for Rizzo is a subject that Joe Maddon brings up a few times a week, and Tuesday’s play didn’t do anything to quell the Cubs manager’s gusto.

“I’ve had a lot of good first basemen,“ Maddon said, “and he’s right on top of the list.”

Maddon added that he’s fine with his players going for the spectacular, making plays and having fun on the field, and it shows with some of the plays his players make. Still, Rizzo knows the catch is the kind of play that will land you on either the highlight reel — or among the bloopers.

“It’s one of those fun plays where, if you make it, you look great,” Rizzo said. “If you don’t, you like a fool. It’s nice that I made it.”
