Reds' Todd Frazier wins All-Star Derby in home park

CINCINNATI — Todd Frazier waited until the very last swing — three times, no less — to win the All-Star Home Run Derby in his home ballpark.

Pressure? Sure didn't show it.

The Reds third baseman became only the second player to win the long-ball competition on his home field Monday night, topping Dodgers rookie Joc Pederson 15-14 with another late surge and one final, emphatic swing.

"No pressure here with these fans," he said, after accepting the championship trophy to one more standing ovation.

Frazier joined the Cubs' Ryne Sandberg for home-field homer titles — the Hall of Fame second baseman did it at Wrigley Field in 1990.
