Home Run Derby set

Washington Nationals slugger

Bryce Harper will take on Atlanta Braves first baseman Freddie Freeman in an all-National League East matchup in the first round of the Home Run Derby on Monday night. Harper, 25, is the second seed at his home ballpark by virtue of his 22 home runs through Tuesday’s games. Freeman, the top NL vote-getter for Tuesday night’s AllStar

Game at Nationals Park, is the seventh seed with 16 home runs. Milwaukee Brewers first baseman

Jesus Aguilar faces Philadelphia Phillies slugger Rhys Hoskins in the opening round. Los Angeles Dodgers rookie Max Muncy meets Chicago Cubs infielder Javier Baez, and Houston Astros third baseman Alex Bregman faces Chicago Cubs outfielder Kyle Schwarber. It’s the second Home Run Derby for Harper, and the first for the rest of the field. Harper lost to Yoenis Cespedes in the 2013 final at Citi Field in New York.
