Seattle Mariners slugger Cal Raleigh captured his first All-Star Home Run Derby, defeating Tampa Bay's Junior Caminero 18-15 in the final round. Raleigh, who leads the Major Leagues in home runs (38), became the first switch-hitter and catcher to win the title. The most powerful hit of the night came off the bat of Oneil Cruz, who hit a 513-foot home run in the first round. Participating in today's All-Star Game are Mexicans Randy Arozarena, Alejandro Kirk, Andrés Muñoz, and Jonathan Aranda.
