Bryce - walk off HR
WASHINGTON -- Bryce Harper was money for the Washington Nationals on Saturday night.
Fresh from getting a big deal, Harper hit a game-ending home run with two outs in the ninth inning that sent the Nationals over the Philadelphia Phillies 6-4.
Hours before the game, the Nationals announced they had reached agreement with Harper on a $21,625,000 contract for the 2018 season, covering the slugging outfielder through his last year before he can become a free agent. Harper would've been eligible for salary arbitration next year.

Congrats on 200 HRs
HRs and 1000 hits
Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Bryce Harpermade history on Wednesday night against the Atlanta Braves. In the sixth inning, Harper launched a home run to put the Phillies on the board. Why was the dinger notable? Because it came against a pitcher with a similar first name -- Bryse Wilson. No, no, we're kidding. The actual reason it was a notable home run was because it served as both: his 200th career homer and his 1,000th career hit.
