Washington Nationals need Bryce Harper to be Bryce Harper...
Bryce Harper was in the midst of an 0 for 13 stretch going into Tuesday’s series opener with the Baltimore Orioles in Nationals Park, and just 1 for his last 26 overall. Harper got up to 0 for 15 (and 1 for 28) before he hit a 2-2 fastball to left field off O’s right-hander David Hess for a soft, line drive, RBI double, driving in one of four runs the Nats scored in the fifth.
“I watch him and he gets a little frustrated. The biggest thing is to just keep him level-headed and let him go out there and just do his thing.” - Davey Martinez on Bryce Harper strugglingHarper looked to the sky after the hit, thankful that something finally fell in for him.
