## Resource

Rafael Devers sparked controversy when he refused to be pinch-run for in the ninth inning, despite being the slowest sprinter on the Giants, leading to a tense standoff with manager Tony Vitello and a quiet exit from the dugout. Vitello defended the move as prioritizing winning, while teammates like Matt Chapman chalked it up to Devers’ fierce competitiveness — likened by the manager to ace pitcher Logan Webb. The incident adds fuel to a struggling Giants team, now 15 games under .500 and in a slump, with Devers’ fiery attitude echoing past friction in Boston where he similarly resisted playing first base.
