Why was Bob Melvin ejected vs Giants? Padres manager tossed in the 5th inning

San Diego Padres manager Bob Melvin was ejected from Wednesday's game against the San Francisco Giants in the fifth inning due to a heated argument with the umpire over a reversed call.

The incident occurred when a pitch from Yu Darvish was hit to right field, and it initially appeared that Fernando Tatis Jr. had thrown out a runner to end the inning. However, upon review, it was determined that catcher Gary Sanchez had interfered with the tag by standing on the baseline.

The reversal of the call by the umpire led to two more runs scored by the Giants, giving them a 4-0 lead on the night. Padres manager Bob Melvin lost his cool after the reversal of the call and was ejected for arguing with home plate umpire Quinn Wolcott.

In an inning in which the Padres seemed to escape giving away two runs, the Giants ended up scoring a crucial four which ended up being the difference between the two teams.
