The friendly rivalry between Seattle Mariners pitcher Felix Hernandez and Texas Rangers third baseman Adrian Beltre is a well-documented one, but Tuesday night's game may have provided the best moment yet.

In the second inning, Hernandez fooled Beltre with a two-strike curveball that drew an extraordinarily ugly "swing" from the 39-year-old.

Hernandez started laughing hysterically, pointing at and mocking Beltre as he walked back to the dugout.

Beltre got his revenge later in the game, hitting a home run to straightaway center field against Hernandez. It was just the second time Beltre has gone long against Hernandez, a rivalry that now spans more than 60 at-bats.

The Rangers won the game 11-4.
