PHILADELPHIA -- Bryce Harper's first hit of the season was a big one. Same for his second. And his third.

Harper homered in all three of his at-bats for Philadelphia during Tuesday night's 9-4 win over the Cincinnati Reds. The two-time NL MVP went 0 for 11 while playing in three of the Phillies' first four games.

The 31-year-old Harper drove a 1-2 cut fastball from Graham Ashcraft deep to center in the first inning.
