The San Francisco Giants lost the last game of their series with the Miami Marlins 2-1 on Sunday afternoon.
Miami picked up the sweep over the Giants, and San Francisco is now 31-46, and just one game away from being in the cellar of the National League West.
In Sunday’s series finale against the Marlins, Giants’ manager Tony Vitello decided to pinch-run for Rafael Devers in the top of the ninth innings, but Devers was very adamant about staying in the game, and was visibly upset when the Giants’ pinch-runner ultimately entered the game and took his place on first base.
