Home Run Derby drama: Brent Rooker loses tiebreaker by under an inch, Cal Raleigh sneaks into next round

Brent Rooker’s impressive Home Run Derby performance ended in a heartbreaking first-round elimination due to a tiebreaker decided by the slimmest of margins. Rooker and Cal Raleigh both hit 17 home runs, but Raleigh advanced because his longest homer was a mere 0.08 feet longer than Rooker’s. Despite the loss, Rooker will participate in the MLB All-Star Game.
