Homers by Harper, Span not enough

Bryce Harper and Kris Bryant, who played baseball growing up in Las Vegas, staged their own home run derby at Wrigley Field. Harper hit his National League-leading 17th homer leading off the seventh, connecting against Chicago starter Kyle Hendricks, to tie the game at 1. Denard Span then gave Washington the lead with his blast with two outs in the eighth off Pedro Strop.

But Bryant tied the game at 2 when he opened the eighth with a monster shot to left that appeared to hit the top of the new video board.
