PITTSBURGH -- The day after a heated dugout exchange between reliever Ken Giles, manager Ryne Sandberg and pitching coach Bob McClure, the righty said the three have resolved their differences.
"Everything's buried in the dirt. Nothing to worry about," Giles said. "It's never going to happen again."
With two outs in the bottom of the eighth inning of Friday's 1-0 loss to the Pirates, Giles seemed irritated following a mound visit, after which he intentionally walked Bucs first baseman Pedro Alvarez. The right-hander issued another free pass before putting away the inning.
"I'm just out there to compete," Giles said.
