Bryce Harper has had a pretty good week.
After hitting five home runs in his past two games, Harper hit a walk-off two-run homer Saturday afternoon to lead the Washington Nationals past the Atlanta Braves, 8-6.
THE RUNDOWN:The Nationals were in firm control through the first six innings. Doug Fister retired 12 of the first 13 batters he faced, carrying a no-hitter into the fifth before giving up two hits and a run. The right-hander appeared to tire in the seventh and exited after allowing three runs on six hits over 6 2/3 innings, but Washington’s offense had given him a significant cushion.
