If everyone could have a birthday as good as Bryce Harper's the world would be a better place.
Harper and the Philadelphia Phillies continued their red-hot streak to kick off the NLCS against the Arizona Diamondbacks with a 5-3 win at Citizen's Bank Park.
The reigning NLCS MVP got his defense off to a great start as he was all over Arizona ace Zac Gallen, who gave up three home runs on the night, including one to Harper in the first inning.
The fireworks started early in Philadelphia as Kyle Schwarber hit a lead-off homer to start the game and Harper followed suit just two at-bats later to send the home crowd into delirium.
