Phillies top Brewers behind Hernandez and Harper

Bryce Harper's offensive woes continued but the Philadelphia Phillies still extended their winning streak in MLB to three games with a 7-4 win over the Milwaukee Brewers.

The first-placed Phillies (24-16) have now won 11 of their past 15 games, and they seem to have a different hero every night.

Against the Brewers on Monday, second baseman Cesar Hernandez had his turn, homering, scoring three runs and recording two RBIs to power the offense.

And Harper – the Phillies' $330million free-agent addition in the offseason – made a diving catch with the bases loaded in the seventh inning to prevent at least two runs and possibly save the victory.
