Bryce Harper, for the third game in a row, showed why he might indeed be the best power hitter in the game of baseball

You all thought Bryce Harper was gonna cool off on Saturday, didn’t you?

NOPE!

Indeed, the young slugger was at it again on Saturday against the NL East rival Atlanta Braves. Already having blown everyone away this week by blasting five home runs in two games, he only hit one in the third contest in a row. But it was definitely a meaningful one.

In the bottom of the ninth inning on Saturday with the game tied at 6, Harper blasted this two-run shot that would send the Nationals home with the victory.

For those that can’t do the math really quick, that’s six home runs for Harper in the last three games. For those that can’t fathom that…that’s a pretty crazy run here that he’s on. Of course, after the blast gave the Nationals the win, there was a celebration, although it was a little weird.


Whatever. When you blast six home runs in your last three games, you’re pretty much allowed to celebrate however the hell you want.
