After Yasmani Grandal flew out to end the top of the 3rd inning in Wednesday’s series finale between the Giants and Dodgers, he and Giants’ pitcher Johnny Cueto began to exchange words. Both benches emptied, which is a common occurrence any time these two teams meet up. There hasn’t been a major incident between the Giants and Dodgers in recent years, but there’s no love lost in the rivalry.
Grandal hit a two-run double in the first inning and he may have been relaying some pitch locations to hitters at the plate while he was standing on second base. Early in his at-bat in the 3rd, he took a pitch high and tight. After flying out to end the inning, the incident ensued.
OK, folks saying Cueto thought Grandal was relaying pitch location to hitters when he was on base after the double. #SFGiants
