San Francisco Giants starter Landen Roupp was booed by a portion of the home crowd during his first home start since several Giants pitchers protested the team’s Pride Night. The protest centered on a Pride Night hat controversy in which some pitchers refused to wear the commemorative hats. Team veteran Buster Posey declined to address the episode and canceled a scheduled KNBR interview less than 90 minutes before airtime. Local reporters and commentators described the reception as a "smattering of boos" and said the episode has intensified scrutiny of the club’s handling of Pride Night and placed added public-relations pressure on Posey and the front office.
