It looks like they've managed to delay the audio by a few seconds so things are pretty much synced up now.
 

So what exactly is the issue?? The power must be on. 

Did this screw up the radio broadcast, where they do away games off a monitor?

Back to normal at 8:09.  Monitors in the broadcast booth are now working as are the video and audio feeds.  Many more camera angles now.  The SN crew did a good job under not the best conditions. 

This is ridiculous. We were watching the game during dinner. I've never actually worked in the industry and I admittedly don't know that much about how things work behind the scenes, but I would assume that there should be a fully functional backup power supply to power such essential infrastructure. We have a whole-home standby generator up here to power the whole house when the grid power (relatively frequently) goes out, but a major corporate firm with millions upon millions of dollars at stake can't be bothered to invest in and maintain whatever equipment they need to keep a professional broadcasting operation running during a major sporting event!? Does nothing at all matter to Canadian broadcasters anymore? Have they just given up?

Well, it was Bally's Sports (which has problems of their own) and Rogers...  but...

Since power stayed up for the stadium and only affected the TV Truck compound, it would seem that the issue is isolated to the service for the TV trucks.  This would be on the Tigers/Stadium owner to have the problem properly investigated and repaired/corrected.

The stadium owner/operator typically charges a hook-up fee to broadcasters for power tie ins to the mobile units, as well as a fee for utilizing the camera cable runs within the venue (outfield camera position, high home, behind home plate etc.) This actually saves time and money in one respect for the broadcaster as they are able to get a faster tech setup, without using a cable crew to pull the individual camera runs out to the truck area.

Back to the power issue. It is not the responsibility of the private mobile operator to provide power. It is the responsibility of the rights holder/broadcaster to do so... either pay the tie-in fee or rent a suitably sized/rated generator truck.

Since this has happened before at this venue, one would think that it would be in the Tech Mgr. or Tech Producer notes to strongly consider renting a genie, and to not rely on the stadium power. Even if it did not previously impact a Jays road game in Detroit, word travels fast throughout the production and mobile tech services industries, so people that should have known, would have known.

I'm willing to bet that a genie truck will be rolling into Comerica Park this morning for the remaining three games of this Tigers/Jays series.
 

I stand corrected, but I would've thought that something like this just wouldn't be allowed to happen. If it were up to me I would have either rented a mobile generator to use as the power supply or to keep on standby as an emergency backup.
