Bryce Harper Continues Impressive Offensive Surge for Phillies

Philadelphia Phillies slugger Bryce Harper has been quietly dominant, hitting .500 with 11 extra-base hits, including four home runs and seven doubles, over his last six games. This hot streak includes three home runs in the first two games of the series against the Angels. Despite being overshadowed by teammate Kyle Schwarber's recent heroics, Harper's season numbers are climbing, now standing at a .272 batting average with 13 home runs, 41 RBIs, and an .881 OPS. Harper, who has repeatedly stated he is one of the best players, has his manager, Rob Thomson, in full agreement with his assessment.
