Major League Baseball games played Friday, June 29, 2007: Thanks to a day-night doubleheader in Philadelphia to make up an earlier rainout between the New York Mets and the Philadelphia Phillies, there were a total of 16 games played Friday. Although yesterday's games produced three walkoff home runs (see here, here, and here) and also home run number 750 for San Francisco Giants left fielder Barry Bonds (more details here), those 16 games only produced a single ejection.

In Detroit, where the Tigers were hosting the Minnesota Twins, home plate umpire Marty Foster ejected Tigers batting coach Lloyd McClendon in the bottom of the 1st inning after McClendon from the bench took exception to Foster's called third strike on Tigers right fielder Magglio Ordonez. The lack of a batting coach may have hurt the Tigers, as they went on to lose the game by the score of 11-1. Of course, facing Twins starting pitcher Johan Santana probably didn't help much either.

Credit home plate umpire Marty Foster with one ejection and adjust your Umpire Fantasy League standings accordingly.
