Umpire admits missing call on Damon with bases loaded

6/27, AP: "Detroit manager Jim Leyland says another umpire is accepting responsibility for a blown call that went against the Tigers.

• Leyland says Gary Cederstrom acknowledged he erred when he called a third strike on Johnny Damon(notes) that ended the Atlanta Braves’ 4-3 win over the Tigers on Saturday night with the bases loaded.

Replays showed the full-count pitch from Peter Moylan(notes) was outside. A walk would have tied the game.

• Leyland said Sunday he called Cederstrom after the game and the umpire said, “‘I kicked it. I knew it right away.”’"...
