MLB makes last-second adjustments to Home Run Derby rules

Major League Baseball has made some last-minute tweaks ahead of Monday's Home Run Derby.

Instead of a five-minute running clock for every batter, the time has been reduced to four minutes.

In addition, the clock will no longer stop in the final minute of a homer. Instead, 30 seconds of bonus time will be added with two home runs that exceed 425 feet.

Rain soaked most of the Cincinnati region for the better part of Monday. But with a window of opportunity to get the Derby in before rain begins falling again, MLB decided to expedite the process a little.
