The 2026 MLB All-Star break has arrived, and the highly anticipated Home Run Derby went down Monday night at Citizens Bank Park. St. Louis Cardinals slugger Jordan Walker made franchise history, becoming the first player in Cardinals history to win the MLB Home Run Derby, a wild feat considering names like Mark McGwire and Albert Pujols once anchored the middle of that lineup.
