PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Bryce Harper has manhandled postseason pressure with the ease of one of his swings -- bat tucked behind his helmet, short ground step, then, whack!
Maybe a hyped Harper will bellow, “ This is my house!” standing on second base after a go-ahead double.
He hit three homers and batted .462 in a four-game NL Division Series win over Atlanta that moved the Phillies on the cusp of a second straight World Series trip.
Inside the jubilant clubhouse, the Phillies had their fun, spraying Harper with beer and gleefully yelling, “Attaboy, Harper!
Trea Turner became the first Phillies player with four hits in a postseason game when he went 4 for 4 in Game 4.
