Journalist Mark Sheldon reported via his official Twitter account that player Nick Castellanos has a lot of respect for veteran Yadier Molina because after the fight between his teams, he said that “Molina could have punched him in the face and still get a signed jersey. ask”.
Reds and Cardinals met at home plate when Castellanos was hit by a pitch by Cardinals-pitcher Jake Woodford; And although Yadier Molina wanted to calm his colleagues, he also had to join the ‘fight’.
The banks of both novenas were cleared to run to the point of discussion and to defend their respective companions; even the newcomer Nolan Arenado was ‘hit’.
Cincinnati Reds eventually took the win of the game against St. Louis Cardinals with a final score of 9 runs to 6, but the game was certainly marked by the pitched battle.
