Los Angeles Dodgers third baseman Justin Turner suggested to Access SportsNet: Dodgers last week that Major League Baseball should consider ending this season's games with a home run derby instead of an indefinite number of extra innings.
"Instead of playing 17 innings, you get one extra inning," Turner said. "You play the 10th inning, and [if] no one scores, then you go to a home run derby. You take each team's three best hitters and you give them all five outs, and see who hits the most homers."
Turner seems to be proposing it just for the 2020 season as a means of getting more games into a shorter schedule without drastically increasing fatigue-related injuries.
