When it rains, it pours.
And following a rain delay Monday, the Chicago White Sox found themselves briefly without a first-base coach.
After a 44-minute delay, the Sox completed the top of the eighth against the Atlanta Braves at Guaranteed Rate Field with reliever Dominic Leone facing two batters.
Braves reliever Tyler Matzek prepared to pitch to Dominic Fletcher to begin the bottom of the eighth, but there was a brief delay because the Sox didn’t have anyone in the first-base coaching box.
Sox first-base coach Jason Bourgeois eventually emerged, and the game continued with the Sox falling 9-0 in eight innings.
