You probably will not be surprised to learn Harper leads the Major League Baseball in home runs with eight. The visiting Nationals rallied against five pitchers in their big burst, winning for just the fourth time in 13 games. Harper, a product of Las Vegas High School and the College of Southern Nevada, hit his major league-leading eighth home run, a solo shot in the first inning on a 95 miles per hour fastball from Jacob deGrom. "It just broke and kept going". He carried what was left - pretty much just the handle - with him to first base, watching the ball sail into the bullpen area. Wilmer Difo tied it with a two-out, two-run single off Jeurys Familia, and Michael A. Taylor drew a bases-loaded walk from the Mets closer for the go-ahead run.

In the top of the first inning Monday night at Citi Field, Harper offered at a first-pitch fastball from Mets starter Jacob deGrom. On his way back to the dugout, Harper playfully pulled up his sleeve to show his biceps.

Yes, this produced a home run. As he trotted up the first base line, the Nationals slugger was still holding the shard that remained from when most of the bat flew away on contact.
