Phillies' Harper Blasts Sixth Homer

In Friday's 5-3 defeat against Atlanta, Harper went 1-for-5, including a solo home run. He connected with a fastball from Grant Holmes to lead off the sixth inning, briefly putting the Phillies ahead 3-2. This blast represented his sixth home run of the current season and his second in the last four games.
