(Reuters) - Reds outfielder Todd Frazier wowed his home Cincinnati fans by winning the Home Run Derby on Monday, adding a jolt of excitement to the revamped event ahead of the All Star Game.
Frazier’s final blast saw him beat Los Angeles Dodgers rookie Joc Pederson 15-14 in a stirring final.
“It’s Cincinnati. We brought it home. This goes out to all of you (fans) for sure,” Frazier told reporters.
“I wanted to get back here," added Frazier, who finished runner-up last year.
