PHILADELPHIA -- Philadelphia Phillies slugger Bryce Harper has hit his 300th career home run, going deep Wednesday against the Los Angeles Angels to become the 158th player in major league history to reach that mark.
Harper hit the milestone homer against Matt Moore in the eighth inning for his 15th homer of the season. The two-run drive, in Harper's 1,481st game, put Philadelphia ahead 8-7. The Angels rallied for three runs in the ninth, however, en route to a 10-8 victory.
Harper homered in three straight games for the second time this month and has 10 homers in August.
