Phillies' Bryce Harper Wows MLB Fans with 3 HRs vs. Reds for First Hits of Season

After entering Tuesday's game against the Cincinnati Reds in a 0-for-11 slump, Philadelphia Phillies star slugger Bryce Harper appears to have found his groove.

Harper launched three home runs and finished with six RBI to lead the Phillies to a 9-4 win over the Reds in Game 2 of their three-game series. Cincinnati won the first game 6-3 on Monday.

Harper wasted no time setting the tone for Philadelphia, blasting a solo homer with two outs in the first inning off of Reds starter Graham Ashcraft. He hit another solo shot in the fourth inning and capped things off in grand fashion with a grand slam in the seventh.
