WATCH: Bryce Harper Stays Hot With 11th Homer
Before last night, Bryce Harper had only hit one homer in his previous 19 games. Then last night he terrorized Mets pitcher Seth Lugo with dingers of 433 and 445 feet. On Friday against Toronto, he continued getting back on track by sending a ball through the thick wind for his 11th homer of the year.

The homer came off recently acquired Blue Jays starter Robbie Ray.
Philadelphia won the seven-inning game by a 7-0 final score. It was Game 1 of a doubleheader at Citizens Bank Park. Philadelphia is hanging onto the final spot in the NL postseason race at the moment with an even 25-25 record.
