Bryce Harper takes his walks and helps Nationals beat Orioles in series finale...

Bryce Harper walked 38 times in 131 plate appearances in March/April, the second-highest total in March/April in MLB history, behind only Barry Bonds, who walked 39 times over the first month-plus back in ‘04 on the way to an MLB record 232-walk season.

Harper walked 15 times total over the next 183 PAs, however, which left him tied for the NL lead going into Thursday night’s series finale with the Baltimore Orioles (and he still led all NL hitters in home runs, with 19, though he’d hit just one in 67 PAs in June).
