Vlad Guerrero wins Home Run Derby

Vladimir Guerrero won the Home Run Derby tonight in San Francisco, he defeated Alex Rios in the final round 3-2. The first round was pretty boring. The shadows were close to the pitcher's mound though, as the shadows moved farther back the more homers got hit. Alex Rios, Vlad Guerrero, and Matt Holliday all hit 5 in the first round and Albert Pujols and Justin Morneau hit 4 so they had a 5 swing tiebreaker that Pujols won 2-1 to advance to the second round. In the second round Holliday hit 8(13), Rios hit 12(17), Vlad hit 9(14) and Pujols hit 9(13). In the second round Guerrero hit a 503 foot blast to left field.
