CINCINNATI (AP) -- An inside pitcher to Indians starter Derek Lowe - and comments he made afterward - have Reds manager Dusty Baker riled up.

Cincinnati starter Mat Latos threw an inside fastball to Lowe during the Reds' 5-3 win on Wednesday night. Lowe then hit Brandon Phillips in the bottom of the inning, and both benches were warned.

Lowe suggested the inside fastball was a payback for an unspecified issue between him and Baker from a few years ago, and said he didn't respect the manager.

Before the game on Thursday, Baker responded by saying the inside pitch was retaliation for Lowe hitting Joey Votto in 2009. And Baker said Lowe may not remember what happened years ago because "there was probably a good chance he was drinking at the ballpark" then.
