Major League Baseball games played Sunday, August 26, 2007: A complete slate of 15 games played Sunday produced a single ejection.

In Detroit, where the Tigers hosted the New York Yankees, home plate umpire Sam Holbrook ejected Tigers catcher Ivan Rodriguez after the conclusion of the top of the 4th inning when Rodriguez expressed his dissatisfaction over Holbrook's strike zone. The Tigers won the game 5-4. You can access the box score at this link, while wraps from MLB.com are here and here.
