Forty-eight hours later, attaboy, Harper had a whole new meaning after he hit two of the Phillies’ six home runs to power his team within one win of the NLCS.
The Phillies' Bryce Harper runs the bases after a three-run homer in the third inning as his teammates celebrate.watched all right, as his three-run home run soared into the second deck in right field in the third inning Wednesday and brought theback from an early deficit in a six-homer, 10-2 thumping of the Atlanta Braves in Game 3 of the National League division series.
Harper went deep twice — staring down Arcia both times. Nick Castellanos did, too. Trea Turner and Brandon Marsh also homered, and the Phillies matched the 2015 Cubs’ postseason record with a half-dozen dingers in Game 3 of the 2015 NL division series against the Cardinals. Harper appeared stone-cold serious as he played catch on the field before the game. He struck out in the first inning against Braves righty Bryce Elder, who wasn’t named as the Game 3 starter until earlier in the day.
Castellanos tied it with a leadoff homer, and after Marsh singled, Braves manager Brian Snitker opted not to go to the bullpen. Elder recorded two outs and was on the verge of getting out of the inning when Turner reached on an infield single.Snitker still stayed with Elder, who gave up a single to Alec Bohm and walked Bryson Stott. When the Braves finally went to the bullpen, J.T. Realmuto scorched a two-run double for a 6-1 lead, and the rout was on.
