There are the nights when Bryce Harper gets nothing to hit, takes his walks and leaves everything up to his teammates. And then there are the nights when Harper takes matters into his own hands and with several mighty swings of the bat authors yet another chapter to this remarkable season.
With a 3-for-4 evening that included a pair of doubles, a couple of runs scored and one epic at-bat resulting in a key home run, Harper did more than his share to lead the Nationals to an 8-2 thumping of the Braves on Saturday night, the club’s fourth straight win.
