CINCINNATI — Reds manager David Bell threw and ultimately broke a chair in the first inning of Cincinnati's 2-0 win over the Padres on Tuesday night.

Bell took out his frustrations after Jake Fraley left the game due to a hand injury he suffered after getting hit by a pitch. The Reds manager explained why he was so angry after the game.

"We've had a lot. At some point, enough is enough," Bell said. "We've had a lot of guys hit in the hand and that's where that came from."
