PITTSBURGH -- The Pittsburgh Pirates struggled to get a hit off Chicago Cubs ace Jake Arrieta.
Hitting Arrieta proved to be far easier.
Pirates reliever Tony Watson drilled Arrieta in the left side with a fastball in the top of the seventh inning during Wednesday night's National League wild-card game. Arrieta and Watson exchanged words near home plate, and the bullpens and benches briefly emptied onto the field.
