Aroldis Chapman has sat down a lot of major-league hitters with his fastball, but he did it in more of a literal fashion on Thursday.
In the top of the ninth inning, Los Angeles Dodgers pinch hitter Enrique Hernandez took a tumble in the batter's box after trying to clobber a 97-mph offering from Chapman.

After the bail and a chuckle, Hernandez reached base on a force attempt and fielding error by Cincinnati Reds second baseman Brandon Phillips.
The Dodgers would go on to win 1-0 over the Reds.
