Major League Baseball games played on Tuesday, June 12, 2007: Although Tuesday featured a full slate of 15 games -- 14 interleague contests and one National League match-up -- there were no ejections of any players, coaches, or managers. Two games hosted by National League central division teams against American League west division teams -- the Oakland Athletics at the Houston Astros, and the Seattle Mariners at the Chicago Cubs -- took extra innings to complete.

Last night's big news, of course, was Detroit Tigers pitcher Justin Verlander's no-hitter against the Milwaukee Brewers. As you might expect, there is a tremendous amount of coverage available online, including articles from MLB.com; The Detroit News; The Detroit Free Press; The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel; and The Associated Press. You can access the box score at this link.

Verlander faced a total of 30 batters and threw 112 pitches, 73 for strikes. The umpiring crew for the game consisted of Ron Kulpa at the plate, crew chief Dale Scott at first base, Paul Emmel at second base, and Dan Iassogna at third base.

Verlander's next start will be Sunday at Philadelphia Phillies, and I'll be attending that game. Johnny Vander Meer is the only major league pitcher thus far to throw back-to-back no-hitters.

With no ejections recorded on Tuesday, June 12, 2007, umpire fantasy league standings remain unchanged.
