Major League Baseball games played Sunday, May 25, 2008: Due to a doubleheader in Miami, a total of sixteen games were played Sunday. And those sixteen games produced one ejection.

In Cleveland, where the Indians hosted the Texas Rangers, home plate umpire Bill Hohn ejected Rangers center fielder Josh Hamilton in the top of the 6th inning for complaining about an appealed third strike. The game was tied 1-1 at the time of the ejection, and the Rangers ended up winning 2-1 in 10 innings. You can access the box score at this link, while wraps from MLB.com are here and here. Additional coverage is available from The Dallas Morning News; The Fort Worth Star-Telegram; The Cleveland Plain Dealer; and The Associated Press.

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