Tejada Replaces Giambi in Home Run Derby

HOUSTON (AP) -- Baltimore's Miguel Tejada replaced the New York Yankees' Jason Giambi in the American League's Home Run Derby lineup Monday.

Giambi, still recovering from a parasite that weakened him for much of June, will still participate in Tuesday night's All-Star game.

Tejada will be joined in the AL Home Run Derby lineup by Texas' Hank Blalock, Boston's David Ortiz and Baltimore's Rafael Palmeiro on the AL team. The NL batters will be San Francisco's Barry Bonds, the Chicago Cubs' Sammy Sosa, Philadelphia's Jim Thome and Houston's Lance Berkman.

Berkman was picked Sunday to replace Ken Griffey Jr., who tore a hamstring a night earlier.

Tejada won the derby. He also set a single round record of 15 homers in the semis. He defeated hometown favorite Lance Berkman in the final round 5-4.

Congrats Miguel :thumbsup:
