Bautista set the tone early Monday night, blasting 10 homers (including on four straight swings at one point) before halting his round at just six outs, presumably to save himself for the semifinals.
People were impressed.
The reactions to what @JoeyBats19 just did ... um, yeah. #HRDerby pic.twitter.com/4CrCCTXFgC
