Power Slump Ends

Bryce Harper was in an RBI slump. In his previous nine games he did not drive in a run, and six of his eight hits were singles, the other two doubles. He walked seven times, so he was doing a great job of getting on base, but given the lack of offense around him, he only scored five runs.

Tonight he face Tom Koehler, against whom Harper hit three home runs in a game earlier this season. Harper hit a three-run homer off Koehler tonight to break a 2-2 tie, then went deep off the bullpen into the upper deck in Miami, a monster shot. He breaks the three-tie for first in home runs in the National League, and moves back into the top five in RBI.
