The MLB All-Star Break opened up with Bryce Harper beating Kyle Schwarber in the Home Run Derby Monday at Nationals Park in Washington, D.C.
The Cubs outfielder went first in the final round and had 18 home runs. Harper, the hometown favorite who was taking part in the contest for just the second time in his career, went second and put up 18 in his four-minute round, but was given an extra 30 seconds because he had at least two home runs travel 440 feet. Harper then hit the winning home run on the second pitch during his extra time.
