PHILADELPHIA — Bryce Harper reached over the plate and poked an outside slider off left-hander Andrew Heaney into short left field. A hitter of great power with many show-stopping moments in his career, the two-time National League MVP needed only a 65.7 mph blooper to notch his latest milestone.
Harper drove in Johan Rojas for the 1,000th RBI of his 14 seasons in the big leagues with his well-placed base hit in the bottom of the fifth inning, came around to score the go-ahead run in the seventh, then knocked in an insurance run and scored again in the eighth.
