We learned the Home Run Derby participants Thursday and we learned these five things:
1 and 2. It ain't easy being a kid. Washington Nationals rookie right-hander Lucas Giolito made his second career start, also his second start against the New York Mets. In his first outing, he allowed just one hit in four innings before a rain delay ended his night. It wasn't as smooth in this one, as he allowed seven hits, four walks and four runs in 3u2154 innings, including two home runs, laboring through 90 pitches.
