SAN FRANCISCO - With Barry Bonds sitting out, this derby was dry - and Vladimir Guerrero was San Francisco's home run king for a day.
The Los Angeles Angels slugger won the Home Run Derby on Monday night, hitting 17 homers and beating Toronto's Alex Rios 3-2 in the final round of the All-Star competition.

Rios, added to the derby field on Sunday, had a remarkable 12-homer binge in the second round, but lost his swing in the final, managing just two more to finish with 19.

Guerrero homered on his first pitch in the final before finishing it with three swings to spare, casually discarding his bat and not even watching as his final shot settled in the left-field stands.

Defending champion Ryan Howard managed just three homers in the first round.
