D-backs manager apologizes to Cubs over sign-stealing accusation

Arizona Diamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo called Cubs manager Craig Counsell to apologize for accusing Chicago's third-base coach Quintin Berry of sign-stealing during their recent game. The incident led to a heated exchange between the dugouts after Merrill Kelly noticed Berry relaying his pitches. Lovullo later confirmed that Berry was not violating any rules and expressed that it was the Diamondbacks' responsibility to address pitch-tipping issues. The two teams faced each other again following the apology, with Lovullo acknowledging that the focus shifts to how Kelly can improve his pitch signaling.
