Rays 5, Giants 1

How bad is the going for the Giants? Even when they hit a home run, they don’t.

Heliot Ramos scorched a ball 107.9 mph. It soared high and deep to center, sending Cedric Mullins all the way to the wall before he suddenly ran in a few steps to make the catch.

Ramos couldn’t believe what happened, and neither could the computers. Statcast initially said the ball traveled 424 feet—easily a home run. Except… it wasn’t. It dropped out of the sky and into Mullins’ glove.

The ball likely hit off the catwalk in Tropicana Field’s roof, but “likely” isn’t good enough to change an out into a home run. Tony Vitello’s dugout didn’t take the news well.

Umpires ejected director of pitching Frank Anderson and struggling starter Adrian Houser. Vitello said the umps made comments to him about “pom poms,” while Susan Slusser wrote that home plate umpire Hunter Wendlestedt said “Who do you think you are?” to Anderson, who came with Vitello from Tennessee.

How bad is the going for the Giants? Even the umpires don’t respect them.

Up next: The Giants will try to avoid going winless on this road trip. It’ll be Tyler Mahle against Steven Matz at 10:40 a.m.
