San Francisco Giants manager Bob Melvin was ejected before the start of Sunday's game against the Colorado Rockies after a heated exchange with the umpires, following a series of contentious calls in previous games. Melvin expressed frustration over a 'phantom hit-by-pitch' and disputed strike zone calls during the series. Despite the early ejection, the Giants managed to secure a 3-2 victory in the series finale against the Rockies. This pregame ejection marked Melvin's fourth of the season and 63rd of his career, matching a record for the earliest ejection in MLB history, highlighting his ongoing displeasure with umpiring decisions.
