Nothing could slow down the Oakland A’s Yoenis Cespedes on Monday night. Not an hour-long rain delay at the Minnesota Twins’s Target Field, not constant absence of rest that Cespedes was subjected to, nothing. ESPN.com reports that Cespedes dominantly snatched up his second straight Home Run Derby title, belting 30 homers in the process, only two less than the total he put up last year. This year’s output was twice as many as the next contestant, as Jose Bautista only mustered 14 dings out of the park, 10 of which came in the first round. Unlike last year, in which Cespedes hit a mind-boggling 13 homers in the first round, had a slow start on Monday, only knocking two out of the park before just barely scraping by in a swing-off with the Twins’s own Brian Dozier.
