Bryce Harper trotted out to right field at Citizens Bank Park Tuesday evening, bowed and did his signature double fist pump after hearing heavy cheers from Philadelphia Phillies fans. By the end of the evening, some of those cheers had turned into audible boos.
Harper went 0-4 in the game, striking out twice, as his batting average on the season dropped to .240. Harper took a puzzling route to what should have been a routine fly ball in the top of the eighth. Even once he got in a position to make the catch, he dropped the ball, allowing Detroit Tigers left fielder Niko Goodrum to reach second base.
