The Home Run Derby took place Monday night with Bryce Harper taking the title in Washington D.C. As you are probably aware, the format of The Derby had changed, making it a tournament-style competition, pitting the players against one another in head-to-head showdowns. After getting past Freddie Freeman and Max Muncy, Harper was slated to face Cubs Kyle Schwarber, who squeaked by Alex Bregman and Rhys Hoskins in what looked like the tougher side of the bracket.
The two sluggers squared off, with Schwarber clubbing eighteen homers to start the final round.
