The Brewers pulled out a victory on Monday against the Pirates with a little help from a new rule in place for 2020.
When MLB decided to put a rule into effect that stated a runner will be placed at second base to begin every extra inning in 2020, many were upset. Many baseball fans, and not just the purists, viewed this change as a way to cheapen the game and that it doesn’t seem like real baseball.
