Bryce Harper homers thrice as Phillies trounce Reds 9-4

Bryce Harper wanted to make sure that Graham Ashcraft didn’t feel too bad for the pair of homers the former swatted off the latter in Tuesday’s rainy game between the Cincinnati Reds and Philadelphia Phillies. So, he took it out on Brent Suter, swatting a grand slam off the Reds lefty to put the second game of the series effectively on ice for the home team.

Harper socked a trio of dingers and drove in 6 runs on the night, leading the Phils past the Reds in a chilly, wet game by the tune of 9-4. It was an ugly game, too - the Reds committed 4 errors on the night (including a pair of crucial ones by shortstop Elly De La Cruz that were seemingly unforced).
