WATCH: Bryce Harper unleashes cannon arm to keep game tied in ninth inning

Ninety-nine percent of the time, we're talking offense when we're talking about Washington Nationals outfielder Bryce Harper. That wasn't the case on Saturday. Sure, Harper hit a double. But his more notable contribution came on defense.

To set the scene: Koda Glover had just blown the Nationals' 3-1 lead over the Texas Rangers, and had allowed runners to reach second and third base with nobody out. That's when Robinson Chirinos hit a liner to right field that seemed primed to score Pete Kozma from third and give the Rangers the lead.
