Mets star arrested at ballpark after game

Mets’ closer Francisco Rodriguez was arrested at Citi Field tonight after slugging his father-in-law following the team’s loss to the Colorado Rockies, police said. K-Rod, as the 28-year-old righthander is known, was charged with assault after he and his father-in-law got into a fight at the Mets clubhouse, police said. The father-in-law was hospitalized with facial bruises and minor head injuries, police said. There is no immediate word what sparked the post-game punch-up. K-Rod was not a factor in tonight’s 6-2 loss to the Rockies, as GM Jerry Manuel used Manny Acosta to pitch the ninth. — NY Post
