A Major League Baseball umpire had an unfortunate blunder during Tuesday night’s game between the Padres and Giants when he was heard swearing during a message that was broadcast over the loud speakers at Oracle Park.
In the top of the second inning, Padres first baseman Brandon Drury grounded into what appeared to be an inning-ending double play. But San Diego manager Bob Melvin quickly opted to challenge the ruling on the field, resulting in an instant replay review.
After making the initial call, first base umpire Adrian Johnson came back out onto the field to announce that the call had been overturned. As he did, his microphone picked up him using an obscenity before he made his announcement.
