How would starter Mat Latos describe the mood? "Anxiety," he said. And, with a few 100-mph fastballs, Aroldis Chapman turned the anxiety into instantaneous joy. Chapman escaped a two-on, none-out threat on Saturday, preserving a 5-4 victory over the Pittsburgh Pirates that began with a long rain delay and ended with some overpowering pitching by the Reds All-Star closer.

"Thats something Ive never experienced before, and I dont want to do it again." Latos gave up three runs in only five innings.

Votto got his 500th career RBI on the error, Brandon Phillips singled home a run, Cozart hit a sacrifice fly and Mesoraco doubled for a 4-0 lead.
