why is the jays game delayed today

The Toronto Blue Jays game today is delayed due to rain in the Tampa Bay area. The start was initially delayed by about 20 minutes because of afternoon rain, with the first pitch expected around 7:20 p.m. ET. Additionally, there was a brief delay early in the game when the home plate umpire left due to a stomach illness, which contributed to a few minutes' delay as the replacement umpire got ready on the field.
