Justin Upton throws helmet in dugout, hits teammate in head (VIDEO)

Maybe Justin Upton should just stick to throwing baseballs from the outfield.


After getting picked off at second base by Rockies reliever John Axford in the eighth inning, the angry Padres outfielder attempted to throw his helmet in frustration in the team's dugout, but his helmet slipped out of his hand and smacked teammate Yonder Alonso in the head.
Alonso, who was standing on the dugout fence with his back to Upton, then threw a fit of his own, tossing trash in the Padres dugout before heading to the locker room. He was replaced in the game by Austin Hedges.

Surprising that Alonso's bird's nest hairdo didn't cushion the blow.

Kole Calhoun makes amazing game-saving catch, knocks in go-ahead run (VIDEO)

Kole Calhoun made an amazing diving catch in the bottom of the 10th inning to rob Justin Upton of a game-winning walk-off hit Saturday night.



With the bases loaded and the game between the Angels and Braves tied at 6-6, Calhoun chased down Upton's lob to extend the wild game.





And Calhoun wasn't through with his heroics.

The right fielder's bases-loaded single in the 13th inning drove in the go-ahead run (VIDEO) and the Angels recovered after blowing a four-run lead in the ninth to beat the Braves 11-6.

That's called taking over a game.
