    ST. LOUIS (AP) -- Albert Pujols has agreed to participate in Monday night's Home Run Derby, even though the St. Louis Cardinals' star is mired in a career-worst power slump. </p>

    Pujols and Alex Rios of the Toronto Blue Jays were the final two participants added to the field, Major League Baseball spokesman Pat Courtney said Sunday. The Derby will be held in San Francisco, site of Tuesday's All-Star game. </p>

    <table border="0" cellpadding="1" align="left"> <tbody><tr> <td></td> </tr> </tbody></table>Rios is hitting .294 with 17 homers and 53 RBIs. The All-Star outfielder drove in the winning run in the Blue Jays' 1-0 victory over Cleveland on Sunday.</div></p>

    Dude, that was a great game today (who knew Josh Towers?). Rios has been the ONLY Jay to do it all season, every game. Hill is pretty close and it's tough to ever fault Roy but Rios is the man on this team.</p>

    Yeah, Josh Towers was awesome today. To bad he didn't get the win though.</p>

    Rios is definitely the man. I'm glad he's representing us in the All-Star break.</p>
