Tony Vitello ejected for first time in MLB manager career

The Mets (6-4) defeated San Francisco (3-7), 5-2, Sunday at Oracle Park in San Francisco, California. Giants' manager Tony Vitello was ejected from the contest after arguing a call when Jerar Encarnacion was ruled out for running outside the base path in the seventh inning with San Francisco leading, 2-1. It was Vitello's first ejection as a Major League Baseball manager.

Following Vitello's ejection, the Giants' bullpen allowed four unanswered runs to New York, who defeated San Francisco for a third consecutive day. The Mets scored five runs in the eighth inning. Vitello served as Tennessee's head coach from 2018-25, compiling a 341–131 (125–85 SEC) record and winning a national championship in 2024 .

He was hired as the Giants’ manager on Oct. 22, 2025. Vitello was ejected five times during his eight seasons as head coach of the Vols.

He was last ejected in a game against Auburn last season. San Francisco will next play Monday versus Philadelphia (5-4). First pitch for the contest between the Giants and Phillies is slated for 9:45 p.
