Bryce Harper Nearly Completes Cycle, Teammate 'Burns' Hand Touching His Jersey

If you haven't been paying attention, Washington Nationals slugger Bryce Harper is really, really good. On the year, he has 14 home runs, 37 RBI and a batting average of .338. That's with pitchers doing everything in their power not to throw him hittable balls (he's been walked a league-leading 36 times this season).

On Sunday, Harper came one double short of hitting for the cycle in the Nats' 10-5 win over the San Diego Padres.

His crown jewel of his three hits on the day was a three-run homer to left field.
