Hometown hero Todd Frazier wins Home Run Derby

CINCINNATI – In a sport famous for not using a clock, the introduction of one certainly seemed to breathe some life into baseball's All-Star Home Run Derby.

Adding to the drama, hometown favorite Todd Frazier had the last word in the final against Los Angeles Dodgers rookie Joc Pederson, hitting the tying home run in the final seconds and then drilling a walk-off homer into the left field seats during bonus time to defeat Pederson 15-14.

"Just hearing the crowd call my name, the adrenaline, those last minutes of each round really picked me up," Frazier said.
