Latos takes the game into own hand, Rivalry brewing

Something may or may not happen during tonight's game.

Mat Latos hit a 2-R HR during yesterdays game. Yes the pitcher. Latos slammed a 2-R shot to left field to extend the Reds lead to 3-0, which would hold the rest of the game. 

In the 9th inning, when Aroldis Chapman was pitching, and Andrew McCutchen was batting, Chapman beamed McCutchemn with a 101 MPH fastball on the shoulder. McCutchen starred down Chapman, walking slowly to first. Chapman and the Reds would win soon after 3-0. 


Post game, McCutchen said quote: "*expletive* them. *expletive* them" speaking of the Reds. Numerous fans between the 2 teams  have been bickering in person or social media such as Twitter. We will see how the Pirates respond, if they do, on the, in my opinion, unintentional hit-by-pitch. We will have to see, if the Pirates decided to hit somebody, who it is since Joey Votto and Brandon Phillips are out of the line-up due to injury. We will have to see. 

I couldn't find any pictures of Chapman hitting Andrew, so here's a video and the picture before the hit. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DSS20zemaPE
