Bryce Harper Demolishes Second Home Run With Phillies And Rhys Hoskins Pays For It

It didn't take long for Bryce Harper launch his second home run with his new team.

During the Phillies' matchup with the Braves on Sunday, Harper hit a towering home run to right-center to put the Phillies up 4–1 in the seventh inning.

Following the moonshot, Braves pitcher Shane Carle Rhys fired an 0-1 fastball up and in that hit Rhys Hoskins in the shoulder. Umpire Rob Drake ejected Carle apparently because Drake thought Carle intentionally plunked Hoskins. Based on Hoskins' reaction, he thought so too.

Hoskins scored later in the inning on a single to give Philadelphia its final run in its eventual 5–1 win.
