Philly fans, who booed everyone but Schwarber and Bryce Harper throughout the night, quietly headed toward the exits when Walker&rsquo;s winning shot soared over the left field wall.<\/p>\n<p>Schwarber advanced out of the first round and then beat Boston&rsquo;s Willson Contreras in a head-to-head matchup in the second round to face off against Walker, who beat Tampa Bay&rsquo;s Junior Caminero.<\/p>\n<p>Schwarber, the major league baseball home run leader, had fans roaring on every swing.<\/p>\n<p>Wearing a backward cap just like Hall of Famer Ken Griffey Jr, the 24-year-old Walker chewed gum and seemed nonplussed by the jeers and the massive stage during All-Star Game festivities.<\/p>\n<p>He hit his seventh homer with two swings remaining and his eighth on the next swing to earn bonus swings. Needing to hit four straight homers to win, the right-handed Jordan knocked one off the top of the center field fence 401 feet away. He reached 10 homers and Philly fans booed with all their might, only for Jordan to cap the upset victory.<\/p>\n<div class=\"internal-linking-related-contents\"><a href=\"https:\/\/jobuzo.com\/en\/12-weeks-jail-for-school-it-support-technician-who-took-upskirt-videos-of-teachers\/\" class=\"template-1\"><span class=\"cta\">News :<\/span><span class=\"postTitle\">&lt;div&gt;12 weeks' jail for school IT support technician who took upskirt videos of teachers&lt;\/div&gt;<\/span><\/a><\/div><p>___<\/p>\n<p>AP MLB: https:\/\/apnews.com\/hub\/mlb<\/p>\n<p>Source<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><sub>Jordan Walker spoils Philly&rsquo;s Kyle Schwarber party, rallies to win Home Run Derby<\/sub><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Philadelphia Phillies&rsquo; Kyle Schwarber gestures during the MLB baseball All-Star Home Run Derby, Monday, July 13, 2026, in Philadelphia.
