5. They're going back to full length games for next season's double headers

The 7 inning rule was for 2020 and 21 because the commissioner thought there'd be a ton of doubleheaders due to covid shutdowns. Manfred said during the break that 7inning games would most likely go away next season. (We'll prob get the designated hitter for the NL too)

I don't know about this game, but the Marlins are finishing a game that was suspended in the 10th last night before they start their regular game with the Phil's today.

Both games will be nine innings Auggie Jul 2021 #2
