Overview
- Nolan Arenado chopped a 1-2 pitch down the third-base line that Alex McKay ruled had traveled over the bag and was therefore fair, a judgment that could not be reviewed by replay.
- Giants manager Tony Vitello was tossed after arguing the call, marking his second ejection in three days and his fifth of the season.
- Logan Webb, who was not active in the game, received his first career ejection after he yelled at the umpires from the dugout.
- Tim Tawa followed Arenado’s double with a three-run homer that produced a five-run third inning and put Arizona in control of the game.
- Coverage noted that the umpiring crew had multiple ball-strike calls overturned on challenges and that prior clashes between Giants staff and umpires have added context to the night’s tensions and possible effects on team morale.
