The RF umpire (Tim Welke) stayed in his position, there is no left field umpire on the line, its not that big of a deal. This happened last year in the NLCS, when Crew Chief Jerry Crawford became ill in game one and was forced to leave. Mike Reilly moved in from the RF line to behind the plate. The RF line was vacant for the remainder of the game and Larry Poncino (LF line and remaining outfield umpire) stayed in left.
Hope this answers your question.

Thanks. I was wondering if they made some mechanical changes. I guess adding the OF guys doesn't make as much difference as adding guys on the bases.
