Joel Peralta of the Rays enters a game against the Nationals in relief of David Price in the 8th inning, but is ejected before throwing a pitch for having pine tar on his glove. It is Nats manager Davey Johnson, Peralta’s former skipper, who advises umpire Tim Tschida to check the pitcher’s glove, giving rise to suspicion that the hurler may have been a habitual offender in this respect. The ejection comes with an automatic ten -game suspension. The Rays still manage to win the game, 5 – 4.

After a lengthy ten-week trial, Roger Clemens is acquitted by a jury on all charges that he obstructed justice and lied to Congress when he testified at a deposition during a 2008 nationally televised hearing. The seven-time Cy Young winner, who won 354 games playing for the Red Sox, Blue Jays, Yankees, and Astros during his 24 years in the major leagues, contended that the success in the latter part of his career was a result of an over-the-top work ethic and not due to taking performance-enhancing drugs, as widely believed.
