Nature

The Blue Jays game today is delayed due to rain in the Tampa Bay area. The first pitch was originally delayed by about 20 minutes because of this rain. Additionally, there was a further delay as the home-plate umpire, Brian O'Nora, left the game in the first inning due to a stomach illness, which caused several more minutes of delay as the replacement umpire got ready. So the game is facing delays both from weather and the umpire situation.
