San Francisco Giants first baseman Rafael Devers claims media members and followers are overreacting to his pinch-run incident in a 2-1 loss to the Miami Marlins on Sunday.
Throughout the ninth inning of the competition, Devers initially refused to let rookie heart fielder Jonah Cox pinch-run for him, waving his finger on the dugout and supervisor Tony Vitello. He then stomped off the sector after exiting the sport.
Devers expanded on the interplay throughout a Tuesday information convention earlier than San Francisco’s residence sport in opposition to the Athletics.
Rafael Devers speaks on pinch-run ordeal
“It was a misunderstanding,” Devers stated via a translator. “Two days previous to that, I instructed the supervisor that I had an issue with my hamstring, and I believed that was the explanation he was taking me out of the sport … it simply received a bit blown out of proportion.”
Devers added he apologized to Vitello’s after Sunday’s sport, “which was the correct factor to do.”
