Only 2 umpires were on the field at the start of the Padres-Rangers game

ARLINGTON, Texas — There were only two umpires on the field in the top of the first inning when the San Diego Padres and Texas Rangers began their game Friday night.

Because of travel issues, Emil Jimenez and John Bacon were the lone umps ready to go by first pitch. Gabe Morales and Mike Muchlinski arrived and joined them on the field in the middle of the first, about the same time Rangers bench coach Luis Urueta was being ejected from the game.
