Only 2 umpires were on the field at the start of the Padres-Rangers game
Only two umpires, Emil Jimenez and John Bacon, were present at the start of the Padres-Rangers game due to travel issues, arriving at Globe Life Field by first pitch.
Gabe Morales and Mike Muchlinski arrived during the first inning, joining the umpiring crew on the field.
Both teams received an additional replay challenge because only half the normal umpire crew was available at the start of the game.
John Bacon ejected Rangers bench coach Luis Ureta in the top of the first inning for arguing after San Diego scored runs.
