The Home Run Derby has taken on a near-equal status with the featured All-Star Game, and fans at Nationals Park will get a chance to see Washington star Bryce Harper attempt to win the competition against seven other sluggers.
Harper, who belted his 23rd home run Thursday night against the New York Mets, is the No. 2 seed in the home-run hitting contest, and he will square off against seventh-seeded Freddie Freeman of the Atlanta Braves.
The eight-man battle will be held Monday night at 8 p.m. ET, and it will be televised by ESPN.
The other competitors in the Home Run Derby include top-seeded Jesus Aguilar of the Milwaukee Brewers, third-seeded Max Muncy of the Los Angeles Dodgers, fourth-seeded Alex Bregman of the Houston Astros, fifth-seeded Kyle Schwarber of the Chicago Cubs, sixth-seeded Javier Baez of the Cubs and eighth-seeded Rhys Hoskins of the Philadelphia Phillies.
