The Sano storm in Miami was stopped just shy of a full-on blizzard.
After knocking off Kansas City’s Mike Moustakas and New York’s Gary Sanchez in the first two rounds, Minnesota Twins slugger Miguel Sano lost 11-10 in the 2017 Home Run Derby finals to Yankees rookie phenom Aaron Judge.
Sano launched 11 homers in each of the first two rounds, but he got off to a slow start in the finals. The 24-year-old slugger hit just one homer in the round’s opening 86 seconds, struggling to find an early rhythm with pitcher Fernando Tatis.
He rallied to hit five homers in his last five swings to finish with 10, but it wasn’t enough to knock off Judge.
