One day after taking an errant helmet to the head, Yonder Alonso wasn't taking any chances walking through the San Diego Padres dugout Sunday.
Following Saturday's incident - which occurred when Justin Upton threw his helmet that accidentally struck Alonso in the head - the Padres first baseman attempted to diffuse the tension with a dose of humor and a measure of safety before the series finale in Colorado.

Alonso appeared frustrated during Saturday's mishap, but told reporters after the game he and Upton were moving past the incident.
"I don’t think you guys need to know what was said," Alonso said. "We talked about it, and it’s all good."
