The San Francisco Giants fall to the Kansas City Royals again, extending their losing streak to five games and getting swept in the series. During the game on Wednesday, Giants manager Tony Vitello is ejected one batter into the bottom of the seventh inning. Shortly after the ejection, the game’s momentum shifts and the Giants begin to “fall apart,” according to accounts of what follows immediately after Vitello’s dismissal.
Both reports describe the timing of the ejection as occurring early in the seventh inning and note that the disruption coincides with the team’s continued struggles. With the Giants unable to halt the slide, they are ultimately defeated and complete the sweep by the Royals. The coverage focuses on the ejection and its immediate aftermath, as well as the broader result: another defeat for San Francisco and a series loss to Kansas City.
