    There is no secret when it comes to facing Cincinnati Reds reliever Aroldis Chapman and his 100 mph fastball.

    "He's not going to do anything tricky," the San Diego Padres' Chris Denorfia said. "He's going to throw it 100 mph. You have to be ready for the fastball. You have to sit on the fastball. It comes so quickly it's hard for you to do anything with it."

    Denorfia did plenty against Chapman on Monday night, hitting a two-run, pinch-hit homer in the bottom of the ninth inning to give the Padres a 2-1 victory over the Reds.
