PHILADELPHIA (AP) --- St. Louis outfielder Jordan Walker played spoiler in
Philadelphia and homered on his last five swings to knock off Phillies slugger
Kyle Schwarber and silence the Philly boo birds in the final round, becoming
the first Cardinal to win the Home Run Derby on Monday night.
Schwarber hit 11 homers during his 15-swing turn in the final round. Philly
fans, who booed everyone but Schwarber and Bryce Harper throughout the night,
quietly headed toward the exits when Walker's winning shot soared over the left
field wall.
