Braves' Olson and manager ejected after interference call in 3-1 loss to Pirates.

On September 27, 2025, Atlanta Braves manager Brian Snitker and first baseman Matt Olson were ejected during a 3-1 loss to the Pittsburgh Pirates, marking Olson’s first ejection in his 1,222-game MLB career. The incident occurred in the sixth inning when Olson hit a popup near first base, and Pirates catcher Henry Davis collided with him while attempting to catch the ball. Umpire Brock Ballou ruled Olson out for interference, stating he obstructed Davis’ play. Olson and Snitker argued the call, leading to Snitker’s ejection, followed by Olson’s removal for continuing to protest. Despite acknowledging the replay may have shown he was at fault, Olson expressed frustration. Bubba Chandler pitched five and two-thirds innings for the Pirates, earning his fourth win, while Spencer Strider took the loss for the Braves. The Pirates won their first season series against Atlanta since 2017.
