Some MLB teams extend beer sales in reaction to shorter games

PHOENIX -- Thanks to the pitch clock, the action is moving much faster at Major League Baseball games.

It also means a little less time for fans to enjoy a frosty adult beverage.

To combat that time crunch, at least four teams -- the Arizona Diamondbacks, Texas Rangers, Minnesota Twins and Milwaukee Brewers -- have extended alcohol sales through the eighth inning this season. Others, like the Miami Marlins and New York Mets, still stop after the seventh inning, the historical cutoff, but haven't ruled out changes.
