The San Francisco Giants were attempting to rally down one run in the top of the ninth inning against the Miami Marlins on Sunday when Rafael Devers reached first base on a walk.

Giants manager Tony Vitello was about to pinch-run for Devers in hopes of adding speed on the bases to tie the game. Jonah Cox ran toward first while Devers tried to shoo him away. Devers pleaded from first base to stay in the game while Cox was caught in the middle of the ordeal.

Devers walked back to the dugout in a huff.

Jung Hoo Lee, the next Giants batter, flied out and then Willy Adames grounded into a double play. The Marlins secured the 2-1 win.

Vitello seemed to understand Devers’ reasoning for wanting to stay in the game but also knew that Devers was battling some leg soreness. He said that once he made the decision to have Cox come into the game, there was no turning back.
