National League’s Kris Bryant, of the Chicago Cubs, hits during the MLB All-Star baseball Home Run Derby, Monday, July 13, 2015, in Cincinnati.

The Cubs' Anthony Rizzo and Kris Bryant stepped into the baseball spotlight Monday night, but they weren't there for long.

Both were eliminated in the first round of the All-Star Home Run Derby at Great American Ball Park. The Blue Jays' Josh Donaldson beat Rizzo 9-8 and the Angels' Albert Pujols knocked out Bryant 10-9.

"It was a cool format," Bryant said. "I was tired. I realized you have to swing at every pitch."
