Bryce Harper remained hot for the Washington Nationals Saturday by hitting a walk-off home run to beat the Atlanta Braves 8-6, giving him an absurd six bombs in the last three games. Not only has he drawn attention for his slugging ways, but also for his celebration.
Love him or hate him, Harper gave people something to talk about with the way he pimped his walk-off shot. He admired that blast like he was David Ortiz and carried the bat up the line like he was Jack Parkman.
As if that wasn’t enough, Jayson Werth ripped Harper’s jersey during the celebration, and then Max Scherzer doused the youngster with chocolate sauce. Is the chocolate syrup a new tradition for the Nats? They also did the same thing to Dan Uggla two weeks ago.
Harper finished 2-for-4 including the 2-run shot to win it. He clubbed three home runs on Wednesday and two on Friday after an off day Thursday. The last player with six home runs in three games was Hee-Seop Choi of the Dodgers in 2005.
