Major League Baseball games played Sunday, May 4, 2008: A complete slate of fifteen games played Sunday produced one ejection.

In Miami, where the Florida Marlins hosted the San Diego Padres, home plate umpire Sam Holbrook ejected Padres manager Bud Black in the top of the 7th inning after Black came onto the field to argue with Holbrook over something that Black would later refuse to specify. The Padres were trailing 5-2 at the time of the ejection and eventually went on to lose by a score of 10-3. You can access the box score at this link, while wraps from MLB.com are here and here.

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