Dallas Latos says she was hit in the head “at least three times” by a female Pirates fan at PNC Park

Dallas Latos — the wife of Reds pitcher Mat Latos — claims to have had an ugly incident during Tuesday’s National League Wild Card Game at PNC Park, a 6-2 victory for host Pittsburgh. We’ll let her do the explaining:

Got punched in the head at least 3 times by a pirates fan so this has been cool.

Spent most of the game talking to police. Fancy is one word that comes to mind. — Dallas Latos (@DallasLatos) October 2, 2013

Pittsburgh police can’t arrest anyone on assault accounts so I’m the one who spent the game talking to law enforcement after being attacked. — Dallas Latos (@DallasLatos) October 2, 2013

All the pirates fans trolling my account & making jokes about this are sick.

Hey- I box for fun & didn’t even swing back bc it was so uncalled for. just blocked my head bc that’s what was attacked. Who does that?!

Pretty sure all the ball-less nerds who made videos will be posting them on you tube soon. — Dallas Latos (@DallasLatos) October 2, 2013

At this point people on Twitter — mostly Pirates fans — are calling her a liar …

Look. Check the police report. I was ambushed in the Budweiser bar, grabbed by the hair, drug down & punched in the head multiple times.

I’m “fine” but my head hurts. Never swung back bc I was trying to protect myself. Will go to the doc when we get back.

A huge man called me a cunt & said he was going to kick my ass so I told security. His chick is who threatened me & then attacked me.

— Dallas Latos (@DallasLatos) October 2, 2013

Just know that security knew I had been threatened multiple times (not even wearing Cincy gear), chose not to take action & I got attacked.

— Dallas Latos (@DallasLatos) October 2, 2013

Every opportunity was given to pirates security to deal with this before it happened. Unbelievable.

— Dallas Latos (@DallasLatos) October 2, 2013

The police conveniently didn’t hear me getting threatened that I was going to get my ass beat as I walked into the security office. So cute.

— Dallas Latos (@DallasLatos) October 2, 2013

Only said something bc I’m shocked by how shitty that was handled by PNC security. Beyond.

— Dallas Latos (@DallasLatos) October 2, 2013

& for everyone saying I started it, I asked a huge dude to stop being mean to Meso’s grandma & he threatened to beat me so I told security.

More to come, certainly. Maybe even some YouTube embeds from ball-less nerds.

Marlins infielder/outfielder Brian Anderson departed Friday’s 19-11 win over the Phillies with a left hand contusion, the club announced. Following an X-ray, it was then revealed that he had sustained a fracture of the fifth metacarpal — an injury severe enough that it’ll likely keep him off the field for the remainder of the 2019 season.

Anderson suffered the injury on a hit-by-pitch in the third inning. On the first pitch of the at-bat, with the bases loaded and one out, he took a 93.9-m.p.h. fastball off his left hand. The HBP forced in a run, but he doubled over in pain and was quickly examined by a member of the Marlins’ staff before officially departing the game in the top of the fourth.

It’s an unfortunate way to end Anderson’s third campaign with the Marlins. The 26-year-old has posted some career-high numbers this year, reaching the 20-homer mark for the first time and batting a healthy .261/.342/.468 with an .810 OPS and 3.0 fWAR through 510 PA. Despite the setback, he should be fully healed and ready to go well in advance of the Marlins’ spring training in 2020.
