Harper, Moore pace July 4 offensive onslaught

"Bumgarner's so good, you don't want to get behind a guy like that," said Bryce Harper, who went 3-for-4 with one of the homers in the first, a two-run shot. "He throws his heater a lot, has that cutter that he throws and a very good curveball. It definitely was good to get out in front and do that."
