Major League Baseball games played Sunday, April 20, 2008: A complete slate of fifteen games played Sunday produced one ejection.

In Boston, where the Red Sox hosted the Texas Rangers, home plate umpire Paul Emmel ejected Red Sox left fielder Manny Ramirez for arguing a called third strike in the bottom of the 2nd inning. The Red Sox were trailing 2-0 at the time of the ejection but came back to win the game by a score of 6-5. You can view the box score at this link, while wraps from MLB.com are available here and here. Additional coverage is available from The Boston Globe; The Boston Herald (here and here); The Providence Journal (here and here); The Dallas Morning News; The Fort Worth Star-Telegram; and The Associated Press.

Credit umpire Paul Emmel with an ejection -- his first of the season -- and adjust your Umpire Fantasy League standings accordingly.
