Rafael Devers candidly explained why he reacted the way he did after being substituted in the ninth inning of the Giants’ loss to the Marlins on Sunday.
In the ninth inning of San Francisco’s 2-1 defeat, Devers was seen waving off pinch-runner Jonah Cox and looked visibly upset when the rookie came out to replace him at first base. The incident came after a leadoff walk when the Giants were trailing by a run, as manager Tony Vitello made the decision to swap out Devers with a speedier runner in hopes of stealing a late win in Miami.
