Bryce Harper had a big night on Monday, as he hit huge homers to help the Phillies score a win in the series opener against the Mariners.

After blasting two home runs against the Seattle Mariners, Philadelphia Phillies star Bryce Harper spoke about stepping up in Zack Wheeler's absence.

PHILADELPHIA — Before he launched a 440-foot homer that he followed with a 448-foot homer, Bryce Harper smacked a slider to dead center. He missed the barrel. He knew it and looked disgusted. He jogged to first base as Julio Rodríguez caught the fly ball, then clapped his hands a few times. “Just missed it,” Harper said.
