The Phillies' Kyle Schwarber was eliminated in the first round of the home run derby by Albert Pujols. Schwarber came up one homer short in a 20-19 loss
LOS ANGELES — Kyle Schwarber took off his cap and bowed. If you’re going to lose in the first round of the Home Run Derby, well, you might as well lose to a future Hall of Famer.
Pujols has 685 career homers, fifth on the all-time list, but only six this season. He hit 10 homers during the three-minute regulation period, a lower total than any of the previous six competitors, and was swarmed by All-Stars from both leagues for a photo opportunity. Schwarber, batting with his signature “Cult of Personality” walkup music blaring over the Dodger Stadium sound system, finished with 13 homers to set up the swing-off.
In the end, he couldn’t resist, especially because Harper is injured and unable to attend the All-Star Game. Schwarber is the Phillies’ lone representative in Los Angeles this week. His wife, Paige, and 4-month-old son, Kade, are taking in the festivities with him.
