Bryce Harper Blasts Sixth Homer
Bryce Harper went 2-for-5 with a single and a home run in his team's 11-9 loss to the Arizona Diamondbacks on Sunday. He scored two runs, adding a walk and two strikeouts. The former first-overall pick gave the Phillies their first run of the game with a 362-foot solo blast that he barely poked over the left-field wall. It was his first time going yard since he cranked three over four games in mid-April (13 appearances). Harper is lacking quite a bit in the average department (.234), but he's sporting a .263 xBA and is walking a healthy 16.9% of the time (top 4% of the league). If it holds, that'd be the highest mark over a full season for him since 2018. His BABIP is uncharacteristically low (.264), so seeing some positive regression over the coming weeks wouldn't be surprising.
