Tigers' Armando Galarraga And Jim Joyce: Together Again Tonight


Jim Joyce says he's apprehensive and excited for his assignment as the plate umpire for Tigers right-hander Armando Galarraga's start at Comerica Park tonight against the Baltimore Orioles.

"It's not just another game — that's obvious," Joyce said. "Armando and I are both professionals. We both have a job to do. I'm sure Armando will do his job to the best of his ability, and I'll do mine to the best of my ability."

Joyce and Galarraga will be involved in the same game for the first time since June 2. With two outs in the ninth that night at Comerica Park against the Indians, Joyce's missed call at first base cost Galarraga a perfect game.
