Schwarber heads to Derby finals, facing Harper

Kyle Schwarber raised his arms, imploring the Nationals Park crowd to get behind him as he chased Rhys Hoskins’ lofty home run total. And then, in the final seconds of his second-round showing in the T-Mobile Home Run Derby on Monday night, Schwarber gave them plenty to cheer. His 429-foot blast to the third deck gave him the 21-20 edge over Hoskins and advanced Schwarber to the finals.
