Twins All-Star Byron Buxton put together a strong performance to make it past the opening round of the 2025 Home Run Derby, but his run came to an end against the Rays' Junior Caminero in the semifinals.

Exactly 17 years ago today Justin Morneau made Twins history when he lifted a trophy over his head after being named the 2008 Home Run Derby champion. He was the first and last player to don a Twins uniform while winning.

Minnesota was the home of the first All-Star Week Home Run Derby in 1985, as Tom Brunansky took second while mashing dingers in the Metrodome. In 2008, Justin Morneau also made it to the big stage of the derby.
