Harper homers Nationals over Phillies, 6-4

The Nationals have the luxury of a roster studded with players who can contribute at any given moment in any given game.

They traded highly regarded prospects for Adam Eaton. Adam Zimmerman has gotten off to a hot start. Daniel Murphy looks to be an even better player than last year.

Sometimes, though, you just need your best player to dictate the game. Bryce Harper did just that Sunday.

Harper hit a two-out, three-run homer 423 feet in the bottom of the ninth to give the Nationals a 6-4 walk off win over the Philadelphia Phillies.
