The last swing could have been enough for Alex Bregman to get another chance Monday (July 16) at the Home Run Derby, but the ball hit off the bottom of the fence in left-center field at Nationals Park in Washington D.C.
That left the former LSU baseball player one home run shy of the Chicago Cubs' Kyle Schwarber, who hit 16 home runs before Bregman came to bat in the first round of the derby.
Bregman, an All-Star third baseman with the Houston Astros, hit 15 home runs.
He used a late surge to make it close, at one point hitting three pitches in a row for home runs to get to 13 before the next one went just foul down the line in left field.
