Schwarber comes up short in Home Run Derby thriller | Live updates

Bryce Harper won the 2018 Home Run Derby in front of his home fans when he was with the Nationals, but he couldn't replicate that performance tonight in Philly.

He took a lot of pitches from Dodgers coach Dino Ebel, who has pitched to previous Home Run Derby champions, but just couldn't get a consistent swing going despite chants of "Let's go, Bryce!" from the crowd. The hope for Phillies fans now rests on the broad shoulders of Kyle Schwarber.

Kyle Schwarber finished round 1 with 10 homers to advance to the semifinals.

There was a thunderous roar at the Bank as Michael Buffer introduced Bryce Harper.

For the first time since 2015, there will be no clock element involved.

Each hitter will have 20 swings in the first round, 15 in the semifinals and 15 again in the finals.

A player who homers on the final swing of his round, however, gets to keep swinging until he doesn't hit a home run.

The big key here: Batters will be taking more pitches, waiting for the perfect pitch. As a result, we likely won't see the onslaught of rapid-fire home runs like in previous Derbies.

It probably makes for a more fair competition and will be easier to follow on TV, but we'll see if it brings the same level of energy to the in-stadium crowd.
