- Ohtani set to start on mound and hit leadoff in All-Star Game
Pete Alonso danced to his second straight Home Run Derby title, besting Shohei Ohtani, Trey Mancini and Juan Soto on a night of record long balls in the thin Rocky Mountain air of Coors Field.
The New York Mets first baseman hit 74 total home runs and beat Mancini 23-22 in the final round Monday, joining Ken Griffey Jr (1998-99) and Yoenis Céspedes (2013-14) in winning consecutive titles.
