Harper homers again to lead Phillies' sweep of Braves. MORE:
Harper connected on a solo shot to right off Shane Carle in the seventh inning that had the crowd resuming its"MVP!" chants from a day earlier and the Phillie Phanatic dancing atop the dugout. Carle then drilled cleanup hitter Rhys Hoskins on the left shoulder and was ejected from the game, and Phillies fans taunted him with a mock tomahawk chop.Harper, the hit of the city, is back on familiar turf this week when the Phillies head to Washington for a two-game set with the Nationals.
Harper still had Phillies fans in a frenzy, though a windy, chilly night thinned the packed ballpark from the first two games by several thousand for the first night game of the series. Harper walked in the first inning and was left stranded on third when Odubel Herrera struck out with the bases loaded.
"He's connected with people in the ballpark," manager Gabe Kapler said."He's connected with his teammates. He's connected with the coaching staff. He's connected with the city. He's connected with the fans." Josh Donaldson, the 2015 AL MVP, singled for his first hit with the Braves in the third and scored on a passed ball.
