MLB TV on Apple TV - Live ads glitch

I have an Apple TV 4K (2nd Generation). I am an MLB TV subscriber. This year, when I try to watch a game, at the end of each half inning, the stream is fed a live commercial, I totally lose the feed. The only way to correct the issue is to hard close the app, restart the app, reselect the game. Alternatively, if I pause the feed before it goes to live commercial, wait for a few minutes, then press play and "go to live," I can skip the ads and not lose the feed. I called MLB and they tried to suggest this was an Apple TV problem. I called Apple TV support and they said it was an MLB TV problem. I have an old Amazon Firestick, and when I use that, no issue. I'm at a total loss and no one is helping me. *Oh, and if INSTEAD of a live ad, I get the stock screen that says "MLB TV, Commercial Break In Progress," I don't lose the feed. Any suggestions would be appreciated. I don't want to have to swap out to the fire stick every time I want to watch the game.

Having the same issue from iPad. I keep the screen mirroring box open and hit stop mirroring at the commercial, wait a few seconds and then select my TV again. It goes to MLB commercial break screen then resumes as normal. Definitely a pain, you would think Apple could resolve this by now.

Opening day for MLB, and I’m having the same issue watching the game streaming with Apple TV AND streaming on my iPhone 13 Pro. But NO issue when using the app streaming with Roku. So it sounds like an Apple problem. Did not have this issue last season watching games on the MLBTV app using my iPhone or my iPad. Very frustrating.
