We told you the 2020 Major League Baseball season would be unlike any we’ve seen before. On Friday night, we saw one of the biggest reasons why.
Extra-inning games as we’ve always known them will not exist during the 60-game regular season. They’ve been temporarily altered with a new set of rules aimed at bringing faster conclusions to games not decided in nine innings.
We definitely got a quick resolution in the first game played under these one-year-only rules. Matt Olson launched a 10th-inning walk-off grand slam to propel the Oakland Athletics to a 7-3 win against the Los Angeles Angels.
