The annual 86th All-Star Game will be held at 8 clock Tuesday at Great American Ball Park in Cincinnati. The party, however, have started with a couple of shots on Monday evening with Baseball Home Run Derby.
Todd Frazier seemed comfortable in his home park, he did something that he had done 15 times before 2015: Hit the ball fans in red shirts screaming beyond the garden wall.
The only difference? These things win All-Star Home Run Derby this year and push Reds third baseman in the local hero.
Frazier homered in the final seconds of the championship round to tie four minutes Pederson. (Made two circuits of more than 425 feet) Quick just one step in his bonus 30 seconds and back -giving him 15 homers in the final round he won.
In a famous sports not carry a clock that scheduled rounds that in the annual competition show last year was made more dramatic.

Frazier, who has 25 circuits of the season, benefited from the strong home crowd to capture the crown Derby in Los Angeles Dodgers rookie Joc Pederson and to start the All-Star festivities in an exciting way.
After the competition, the amount of effect mentioned audiences Cincinnati has had on their performance of 39 career home by Jayson Stark of ESPN.
"The big impact. Hear the roar of the crowd and said my name, adrenaline. And the last minute of each round, [which] really picked up and [helped] drive the ball out of the park more."
The new format is vital for the 29-year-old, who demonstrated the pressure and the clock from Steve Gardner of USA Today Sports Attributes:
"They swing at all once you're down, no matter how much time you have," said Frazier. "If you can, you just have to beat him, where he threw the ball. I felt like a little kid on the playground swing at all."

I rain break?
Unfortunately the weather is not very promising for Tuesday night. This is the last in the National Weather Service:
Showers and thunderstorms likely, mainly before 22 clock. Cloudy, with a northwest wind 66 mph 7-10, with gusts up to 23 mph. Chance of precipitation is 60%. New rainfall amounts between a tenth and quarter of an inch, except higher amounts possible storms.
It was feared that the rain would affect Derby on Monday, but the sky remained clear and without delay or postponement (outside synchronization rules be changed to accelerate the pace) needed.
However, tonight may be a different story.
If rainout Star Game, MLB probably tomorrow, to play, probably in primetime.

, @ WSDreaming_Cubs unlikley. The sun is actually now in Cincinnati. But the forecast still calls stormy night.

Arms race
Dodgers ace Zack Greinke will start on the mound for the National League with the Houston Astros in Dallas Keuchel to oppose the American League.
Greinke league leading 1:39 ERA should be a tough test for guys in the American League. The former Cy Young winner goal series takes 35.2 free laps on his last five starts in the game.

Greinke was the National League opener after Nationals right-hander Max Scherzer threw Washington named on Sunday.
Keuchel be very far behind, however, is relatively unknown. In a league high 137.1 innings, has a 2.23 ERA and has not allowed an earned run in seven of his 19 starts this season.
A sinkerballer who was the No. 5 starter in the spring of last year rotation starts the All-Star Game. What a year and a half.
