MIAMI (CBSMiami/Gracenote) – The runs have been coming fast and furious in Miami this week.
Bryce Harper has been making his presence known early in the first two contests of the Washington Nationals’ three-game series versus the host Miami Marlins.
After igniting the scoring with a two-run homer in the opener and following suit with a two-run single the following day, Harper looks to extend his career-high hitting streak to 14 games on Wednesday afternoon in the series finale at Marlins Park.
Harper has collected three homers, 10 RBIs and as many runs scored during his hit streak heading into an encounter versus starter Dan Straily, against whom he is just 1-for-6 in his career.
