Some thoughts about the Nationals’ 7-2 victory Tuesday night in Miami while watching the Mets-Brewers non-trade saga take one bizarre turn after another…
— If you were worried Bryce Harper was in a funk at the plate, don’t be. No, he hadn’t homered since July 18 off Kenley Jansen, but it’s not like he had been completely stymied, either. In fact, Harper entered play Tuesday riding a 6-game hitting streak, having successfully reached base in 24 consecutive games.
All Harper really needed to get himself all the way back on track was a date with Tom Koehler, his favorite opposing pitcher in the world.
