Home Run Derby 2018: Max Muncy makes second round, loses to Bryce Harper
Max Muncy represented the Dodgers in the Home Run Derby Monday, and ran out of gas in the second round against hometown favorite, Bryce Harper.
Round 1
Muncy’s matchup with Javier Baez was the third of four matchups in the first round, and just like the regular season, Muncy surprised everybody with his power. Baez went first and hit 16 homers, a pace that looked tough since 17 was the highest for anybody up to that point.
The Dodger first baseman came out slugging and passed Baez with 32 seconds to spare.
Muncy moved on to face Harper who only needed to hit 13 to beat Freddie Freeman.
