Reds star Frazier wins Home Run Derby
Print Edition
Cincinnati Reds slugger Todd Frazier defeated Los Angeles Dodgers centerfielder Joc Pederson 15-14 in the final on Monday to win the Major League Baseball Home Run Derby.
Taking batting practice-style pitches from his brother Charlie, the Reds鈥 third baseman blasted the deciding homer over the left-field fence in the annual showdown of sluggers.
Cheers erupted from the crowd of home supporters at the Great American Ballpark as Frazier became the first hometown player to win the homer contest in a quarter century. 鈥淚鈥檓 glad it came here so they could enjoy it with me,鈥 Frazier said.
Frazier, who lost last year鈥檚 contest, became the first host player to win the slugging contest since Ryne Sandberg of the Chicago Cubs in 1990.
Los Angeles Angels first baseman Albert Pujols blasted a homer as time expired to edge Cubs third baseman Kris Bryant 10-9 in the opening round of the eight-man knockout event.
That sent Pujols, 35, against Pederson, a 13-12 winner over Baltimore third baseman Manny Machado in another first-round matchup. Frazier ousted Texas designated hitter Prince Fielder, the 2009 and 2012 derby winner, by 14-13 while Toronto鈥檚 Josh Donaldson downed Cubs first baseman Anthony Rizzo 9-8 in the opening round.
In the semifinals, Frazier edged Donaldson 10-9 and Pederson beat Pujols 12-11.
