During a game on Saturday, Pittsburgh Pirates pitcher Chris Devenski was ejected for allegedly throwing at Cincinnati Reds batter Sal Stewart in the seventh inning. The Pirates were leading 15-6 when the incident unfolded. Stewart had requested a late timeout, but Devenski threw a 91 mph sinker that narrowly missed him. Umpires, including first base umpire Alan Porter, decided to eject Devenski after discussing the situation, believing the pitch was thrown intentionally. Devenski defended his actions, explaining he was trying to pitch inside to Stewart, who he noted tends to dive over the plate. Stewart, on the other hand, expressed that while there was tension, no words were exchanged between the two players. He appreciated the umpires' decision to intervene, indicating that the situation was clear to them.
