It was the Bryce Harper show on prime time as the Phillies finished off a three-game sweep of the Atlanta Braves to start the Harper era.
Harper supplied two hits and two walks on Sunday Night Baseball and put an exclamation point on his night when he hit a moonshot home run in the 5-1 victory.
Andrew McCutchen also supplied the power with an opposite field home run in the third inning for his second home run as a Phillie.
Philadelphia’s offense picked up in the fifth inning despite not getting a single hit. Jake Arrieta started the inning by fouling off six pitches before he flew out to center, drawing memories of Brett Myers’ postseason at-bat versus C.
