ARLINGTON, Texas - Los Angeles Dodgers' Teoscar Hernandez won the Home Run Derby when he beat local star Bobby Witt Jr. of the Kansas City Royals 14-13 in the final round. 

The 31-year-old Hernandez hit 49 homers over three rounds that totaled 3.98 miles. 

He is the first Dodgers player to win the derby. 

Kansas City has never had a winner. 

Witt, needing one to tie with one out remaining, drove a ball to one of the deepest parts of the park in left-center, where it hit halfway up the wall.
