Major League Baseball games played Friday, June 22, 2007: A full slate of 15 games played on Friday produced a single ejection in Seattle, as Mariners manager Mike Hargrove was ejected by home plate umpire Mike Winters with one out in the top of the second inning. At that point, the Mariners were already trailing the visiting Cincinnati Reds by a score of 6-0.

The ejection came as Hargrove argued balls and strikes from the dugout during Jeff Conine's at bat. From there, the night did not improve for the Mariners, as the Reds proceeded to score another 10 runs, while the Mariners only managed to score a single run in the entire game. My earlier coverage of the ejection appears at this link.

Additional coverage of the game is available from The Seattle Times; The Seattle Post-Intelligencer; The Cincinnati Enquirer; The Cincinnati Post; and The Associated Press.

For the games played Friday, credit home plate umpire Mike Winters with one ejection and adjust your Umpire Fantasy League standings accordingly.
