Cleveland Indians outfielder Yasiel Puig had no interest in running to first base after hitting a grounder to Minnesota Twins pitcher Jake Odorizzi on Saturday night.

After lacing a 101.3-mph grounder to the mound, Puig didn't even try running toward first and instead walked directly to the dugout.

A confused Odorizzi opted to run the ball over to the base after noticing his opponent heading off. Puig was met in the dugout by Carlos Santana, who appeared frustrated with his teammate's behavior.

"Santana was giving me advice that I need to run out every play and I'm 100 percent with him and said sorry to him and said sorry to (manager) Tito (Francona)," Puig explained after the Indians' 5-3 loss, according to MLB.com's Mandy Bell. "I'm supposed to run on that play. I don't know what happened in my mind."

Puig, 28, stayed in the game and wound up recording two hits, an RBI, and a run scored in four at-bats.
