Story summary
- The Kansas City Royals beat the San Francisco Giants 5-4 on July 22, 2026 after umpire Lance Barrett ejected Giants manager Tony Vitello.
- Umpire Mike Estabrook ruled that Giants shortstop Willy Adames pushed Royals first baseman Vinnie Pasquantino off second base, yet replay showed Pasquantino stayed on the bag.
- Broadcasters Dave Flemming and Hunter Pence called the call “ridiculous,” noting the Giants’ fifth straight loss left them 42-60, second-fewest wins in MLB.
