PHILADELPHIA ¨C Not even the partisan Philadelphia Phillies fans could get St. Louis Cardinals breakout star Jordan Walker out of his groove when it mattered most.
Walker homered on his last six ?swings to extend his final round and pull off a shocking victory over hometown hero Kyle Schwarber, finishing the round with 12 homers to Schwarber¡¯s 11 to capture the 2026 Home Run Derby on Monday night.
¡°I can¡¯t even describe what it means to win it,¡± Walker said. ¡°It was a lot of swings, a lot of pressure, but I think I just had fun no matter what. Like every round, I said, ¡®have a good time.¡¯
