Detroit's Leyland Suspended One Game

Tigers manager Jim Leyland has been suspended for one game by Major League Baseball.

Leyland was cited for inappropriate and aggressive conduct during the bottom of the third inning of Monday's game against Tampa Bay.

He was ejected during an argument in which Leyland said he accidentally sprayed second base umpire Marty Foster with sunflower seeds.

Garza Throws First No-Hitter In Rays History

Rays starter Matt Garza made franchise history on Monday night against the Tigers by throwing a no-hitter at Tropicana Field.

Garza struck out six batters and walked just one to enter Tampa Bay's record books. He needed 120 pitches to complete the feat.

The Rays entered Major League Baseball as the Devil Rays in 1998. It took them 12 years to notch their first no-hitter.

The Mets and Padres are now the only teams in MLB that have not had a pitcher throw a no-hitter.

GM: Ordo?ez 'Won't Click His Option'

Tigers outfielder Magglio Ordonez's future with the team has been clouded by an injury over the weekend.

Ordonez is expected to miss six-to-eight weeks with a broken ankle, meaning he won't reach the number of starts or plate appearances needed to activate a $15-million option for 2011.

"He's not going to click his option," president and general manager Dave Dombrowski said.

"He's done a tremendous job for us -- I mean fantastic. But we have a lot of guys that are free agents at the end of this year, and we'll have to tackle all of them and see how our club fits together for the future."
