Outfielder Teoscar Hernández on Monday became the first Dodger to win MLB's Home Run Derby.
Los Angeles Dodgers' Teoscar Hernández won the Home Run Derby when he beat local star Bobby Witt Jr. of the Kansas City Royals 14-13 in the final round Monday night.
Both finished their two-minute final round with 11 homers, before bonus swings were added. Witt came up short of his first two bonus swings, then hit two homers in a row - one a 457-foot drive that got him one more swing. Ramirez and Bohm both hit 21 homers to pace the first round. Witt started with 20 homers and Hernández had 19.
Alonso hit a 428-foot homer to left-centerfield on his first swing, but couldn't get into a rhythm. The others knocked out after the first round were hometown favorite Adolis Garcia of Texas, Atlanta's Marcell Ozuna and Baltimore's Gunnar Henderson. Bohm, one of a franchise-record eight Phillies named All-Stars, has only 11 homers this season - the fewest among the eight derby competitors. He said he was going to try to hit as many balls as he could to left field and did - pulling all 21 of his homers that way in the first round.Ramirez hit left-handed, a change from what he has done when hitting in past home run contests, and what he had planned until a round of batting practice Monday.
