Yoenis Cespedes wins the 2013 Home Run Derby
The winner of the Home Run Derby isn't even an All-Star. But he's here and his presence was validated: Yoenis Cespedes has won the 2013 Home Run Derby.

Cespedes hit 9 homers in the final round — his last traveling 455 feet — beating out Bryce Harper who had eight. Cespedes had 32 in all to Harper's 24. In the team competition the the AL beat the NL 53 to 50. Cespedes did not have to use up all ten of his allotted outs in the second round. If he had, the AL — and Cespedes — likely would have had higher totals.

Lightning 6 vs. Washington 3 Steven Stamkos: On starting the season -- "We emphasized that we wanted to start the year quick in shortened season, and we were able to do that. I thought for the first game there's obviously some things we want to improve on, but I thought one of the things we struggled on last year was our power play and that came through big time, especially in the third [period], we capitalized on our chances and guys never gave up. We came back every time to make it 3-3 and we stuck with it and that's a big first win to boost our confidence heading on the road.

On penalties- "A couple penalties these guys realized weren't smart but it was a back pocket excuse and guys were pumped up to play and emotional if anything maybe we'll let those ones slide, they didn't cost us early, PK did a good job and Lindey did a good job stopping pucks, were able to gain some momentum off that and get the first goal."
