Video: Yoenis Cespedes’ Derby-winning homer

The Cuban import walked off at the Home Run Derby with a blast and a bat flip.

Athletics' outfielder Yoenis Cespedes has had a down season after an excellent debut stateside, but none of that mattered during the 2013 Home Run Derby. Cespedes launched 17 homers in the first round, and won on a walk-off blast in the third and final round to defeat the Nationals' Bryce Harper, a rookie who overshadowed Cespedes' own inaugural campaign just one year ago.
