Getting offensive support from Bryce Harper, the Philadelphia Phillies topped the Los Angeles Dodgers, 12-6. Harper slugged 2 home runs. He scored 3 times and drove in 3 for the Phillies. Philadelphia reliever Jose Alvarez picked up the win, upping his record to 1-0.
Harper shows exactly why the Dodgers should have signed him last offseason. Alas, they didn’t and he made them pay — especially for that (reported) bullshit contract they offered him.
Philadelphia took a 6-4 lead on Harper’s 14th home run of the season. The 2-run home run, which he hit off Pedro Baez in the bottom of the sixth, propelled Philadelphia to the win.
