Nothing lightens the mood quite like a walk-off win.
After Rafael Devers and Victor Bericoto both hit solo home runs Wednesday to lead San Francisco to a walk-off win, Giants manager Tony Vitello cracked a joke about Devers in his postgame press conference.
"I'd be remiss if I didn't say the best coaching moment of the night was we told Rafi if he got on first, we were going to pinch-run for him," Vitello said of Devers' ninth-inning at-bat.
Instead, Devers hit a solo home run to tie the game.
The joke referenced Sunday's game in which Devers waved off a pinch runner after getting onto first in the ninth inning. The action spawned backlash for the former Red Sox player and led to an apology from Devers to Vitello.
