Phillies slugger Kyle Schwarber trailed by three going into the one-minute bonus time.
LOS ANGELES -- Eighth-seed Albert Pujols pulled off the biggest surprise of the first round of Monday night's Home Run Derby, defeating No. 1 seed Kyle Schwarber in overtime.
Pujols had a total of 20 homers, including seven in the extra round. None of his drives went over 440 feet, but he did enough to advance with an average of 406 feet per homer. Pujols, who played for the Dodgers part of last season, was the sentimental favorite among the players and fans. After the three-minute regulation session, Pujols was swarmed by cheering All-Stars along the third-base line.
"It is pretty awesome to see the young generation and all that talent. This is for you guys," Pujols said after he was done."It is pretty awesome to come back here one last time."
