    At the end of a very long day, the Cincinnati Reds were fretting on their bench. 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.
