- The Home Run Derby is tonight in Philadelphia (the night before the All‑Star Game) and, for the first time since 1994, it’s on Netflix — an active subscription is all you need; FOX will air the All‑Star Game tomorrow.
- The format is new: no clock — Round 1 is 20 swings per hitter, top four advance, semis and final are 15 swings each, and a round can’t end on a home run (you keep going until you make an out).
- Eight sluggers are competing (five from the AL) including Philly locals Bryce Harper and Kyle Schwarber; prizes are $1M for the winner, $500K for the runner‑up, $150K for others, plus $100K for the longest homer.
The news, distilled into what matters.
