Watch: Bryce Harper hits 100th home run as a Phillie
Bryce Harper joined 26 other players in Philadelphia Phillies franchise history Wednesday night when he clubbed his 100th career home run with the team. Harper crushed a 404-foot opposite-field homer in the top of the sixth off Miami Marlins starting pitcher Edward Cabrera, on a 3-2 changeup.
Harper's homer tied the game at 1-1, but catcher J.T. Realmuto quickly gave the Phillies a 2-1 lead by going back-to-back. Realmuto's homer was 420 feet. The Phils added another run in the sixth, which made it a 3-1 lead.
The Phils ended up beating the Marlins, 6-1, to secure their fifth straight series win over Miami.
