Tigers' Leyland fined, suspended

Published Jul. 28, 2010 1:00 a.m. ET

Detroit Tigers manager Jim Leyland has been suspended one game and fined an undisclosed amount by Major League Baseball.

MLB cited Leyland for inappropriate and aggressive conduct during the bottom of the third inning of Monday night's game against Tampa Bay. The manager was ejected during an argument in which Leyland said he accidentally sprayed second base umpire Marty Foster with sunflower seeds.

Leyland will serve his suspension Wednesday night when the Tigers play the Rays.
