Bryce Harper and the hammering Philadelphia Phillies clearly are enjoying a home-field edge at Citizens Bank Park.
More like a homer field advantage.
Harper started the Phillies' World Series record-tying barrage of five home runs Tuesday night in a 7-0 romp over the Houston Astros for a 2-1 lead.
The rout boosted the Phils' mark to 6-0 at home this postseason, fueled by the 17 homers they've hit in those wins.
“It's tough to play here. I can't imagine what it's like for the Astros,” Phillies outfielder Nick Castellanos said.
“They just have zero breathing room,” he said.
