The Phillies got off to a great start in Los Angeles, and it looked for a moment like this might be a comfortable win.
Yeah, right.
Bryce Harper put the Phillies on the board in the first inning with a laser beam home run to right field. Earlier this afternoon, Alex Coffey of The Philadelphia Inquirer reported that Harper has been diagnosed with a partially torn UCL. He won’t play the field for at least several more weeks, but clearly the injury isn’t affecting his swing.
