NEW YORK (AP) — John Tumpane has replaced Rob Drake on the umpire crew for Game 4 of the NL Division Series between the New York Mets and Philadelphia Phillies. Drake worked right field in the opener and left field in Game 2. He was at third base on Tuesday night and left mid-game because of a non-emergency medical issue. Tumpane had been assigned to the Division Series as a replay umpire at Major League Baseball’s office.
