ATLANTA -- Kyle Schwarber, a man built to smash baseballs over the wall, has never won a Home Run Derby. He lost in the finals in 2018 and failed to advance out of the first round four years later.
On Tuesday night, however, the Philadelphia Phillies slugger made home run history on the All-Star stage, pulverizing three homers on three swings in the first-ever swing-off to decide an All-Star Game, giving the National League a 4-3 victory over the American League at Truist Park after the teams were tied at six through nine innings.
